The image depicts a copper-colored, circular medal with a raised portrait of a man. The man has medium-length, wavy hair parted in the middle and is wearing a jacket with buttons down the front and a high collar. The medal has an inscription around its edge, which reads: "THOMAS JEFFERSON PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. 1801-1809". The portrait faces left. The background of the image is light gray, and there is a shadow cast by the medal to the right.
