A circular bronze medal depicts George Washington in profile from the shoulders up facing our right. His wavy hair, tied with a ribbon, is conveyed in textured relief. Encircling the bust, a beaded border separates the center from an inscription. The top reads "GEORGE WASHINGTON." while the bottom includes "BORN FEB. 22 1732." on the left and "DIED DEC. 14 1799." on the right, separated by small stars.
