The image shows a bronze medal with a profile depiction of a human figure. The figure appears to be male with a prominent nose, wearing a hooded garment. The medal is a warm brownish-bronze color. The relief sculpture is on the round medal with the figure's face oriented to the left, surrounded by inscribed text along the edge. The surface looks worn, giving an aged appearance, and the figure's profile is slightly raised compared to the background.
