The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a side profile of a man with a beard and a hat. The man is portrayed in bas-relief with fine details in his facial features and attire. The medallion appears to be made of bronze, indicated by its dark brownish-green patina. Engraved text is seen along the top edge, following the circular shape. The sculpture is small, flat, and resembles a large coin with a small hole near the top edge.
