The sculpture on the medal is a detailed relief of a group of figures engaged in a narrative scene. The figures are human, wearing classical attire, and are arranged in a dynamic composition. Some figures are kneeling and others are standing, gesturing towards each other or an enthroned individual on the right. The enthroned figure is seated and draped in flowing garments. This piece is a circular medallion with intricate detailing in its design. The sculpture is a warm, coppery brown, made from a metal, possibly bronze or a similar alloy. The surface has an aged patina, giving it a historic appearance. The scene is bordered by a raised rim with bead-like detailing, encasing the central composition. The upper portion of the medallion features inscribed Latin text.
