The medal features a bronze-colored circular object with a raised profile portrait of a man facing right. The man has short hair pulled back, with a small braid or ponytail at the back of his head. He appears to be wearing a collared shirt. The words "GEORGE WASHINGTON SUPREMO DUCI EXERCITUM ADSERTORI LIBERTATIS" are inscribed in a semicircle around the top of the medal. At the bottom, the words "COMITIA AMERICANA" are written in capital letters. A smaller inscription near the bottom-left reads "DU VIVIER A PARIS." The medal casts a shadow on a light gray background.
