The sculpture depicted on the surface of this round medal is of a man identified through inscriptions as "HENRICVS. IIII. FRANCOR. ET. NAVARR. REX." He is shown in a profile view facing to the right, displaying detailed features such as wavy hair styled upwards and a neatly groomed beard. He is dressed in elaborate armor with a high, ornate collar. The surface of the medal is a brownish-bronze color, suggesting it is made of metal, with visible patina spots. The engraving is intricate, and the text is inscribed in a border around the edge of the medal. A small hole near the top suggests it may have been used as a pendant or medallion. The year "1594" is prominently displayed.
