Medallion by Augustin Dupré. The image shows a bronze-colored, circular medallion with a raised profile portrait of a man. The man has a receding hairline and wavy hair that falls to his shoulders. He wears a high-collared shirt. The words "BENJ. FRANKLIN NATUS BOSTON A XVIIII" are raised and engraved around the top half of the medallion's circumference. The bottom center of the medallion has raised letters that read "MDCCLXXVIII". The medallion casts a shadow on a light gray background.
