The relief on a circular medal depicts the profile view of a man with an elaborate hairstyle and beard associated with historical figures. The man has curly and voluminous hair, neatly styled facial hair, and is dressed in noble attire with intricate patterns, a ruffled collar, all on a bronze medal. The medal features a Latin inscription around the edge and emphasizes the fine details of the man's features and clothing with the raised relief sculpture.
