The image is a round, bronze medallion featuring a side profile of Horatio Gates in relief. The medallion has a warm, coppery tone typical of bronze, with signs of patina visible in certain areas. Horatio Gates is shown with wavy hair, wearing a traditional uniform coat with buttons and ruffled neckwear. An inscription around the perimeter reads "HORATIO GATES DUCI STRENUO" and "COMITIA AMERICANA," with the sculptor's name "N. GATTEAUX" faintly visible below the bust. The medallion's design is detailed, using the raised relief technique for depth, meant to be viewed akin to currency or historical medallion art.
