The image shows a circular bronze medal with a raised profile portrait. The medal is bronze-colored and circular, with a raised edge. The profile portrait of a man with curly hair and a military uniform faces right. The man's uniform has epaulets on the shoulders and a high collar. The words "THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON" are written in raised letters along the left edge of the medal, and "DUX NIVARIS AMZITIAE" are written along the right edge. At the bottom of the medal, in smaller letters, is the signature "FURST". The medal casts a shadow on a light gray background.
