The image depicts a bronze-colored circular medal with raised letters. The medal has a raised edge and is centered on a gray background with a shadow cast to the right. The top of the medal reads "IN COMMEMORATION" in an arc. Below that are the words "OF THE" in a straight line, followed by "GREAT CENTRAL FAIR" on the next line. The next line reads "FOR THE" in a straight line, followed by "U.S. SANITARY COMMISSION" on the line below. The words "HELD AT" are on the next line, followed by "PHILADELPHIA" on the line below, and "JUNE 1864" on the bottom line, also in an arc. The medal appears to be commemorating the Philadelphia Sanitary Fair by Anthony Paquet.
