This is a photograph of a commemorative medallion. The medallion features a relief sculpture depicting a draped pedestal with a small figure seated upon it next to a large medallion or shield. Above, a decorative canopy is shown, with intricate designs at the apex. The border of the medallion includes Latin inscriptions, with one segment reading "GEN 5. V. 24." and another segment providing a date in Roman numerals. The medallion is adorned with ornamental elements such as scrollwork and garlands, and it has a loop at the top for attaching to a chain or ribbon. The entire piece is rendered in a fine metallic finish.
