The sculpture on the round medal-like object is a profile portrait of a man wearing a laurel wreath around his head. The man is seen in ornate attire that includes elements resembling armor or a ceremonial garment with intricate textures. The sculpture is made from a dark bronze-colored material. There is an inscription on the medal around the edge, partially visible, with letters including "IOI" and "VIG FRAN HRE." The item is about the size of a coin and has a hole at the top.
