The sculpture depicts a profile of a person with long, curly hair, a prominent mustache and goatee, and ornate clothing and medals. The detailed portrait is on a coin with rich, warm bronze color and intricate variations in tone highlighting the features and clothing. The material is likely bronze or a similar metal alloy. The circular medium has ornate text around the edge reading "LE MARESCHAL DE TOYRAS." The engraving creates a three-dimensional effect emphasizing the figure's expression and attire on the coin's flat surface.
