The sculpture is a profile portrait of Matthias Corvinus, the King of Hungary, with the inscription "MATHIAS REX HVNGARIAE" around the edge of the medallion. It is made from bronze, with a dark brown, metallic appearance and a slightly weathered texture. The figure has curly hair with a laurel wreath, and detailed carvings of the face, hair, and clothing folds. Matthias Corvinus faces to the right in a historical and regal portrayal. The medallion resembles a coin or commemorative medal.
