A brown bronze medal features a tiered pedestal at its center, topped by a bust of George Washington facing right. Rows of small circles pattern the pedestal's sloping sides, while a curved railing encircles its base. Raised text follows the rim: "WASHINGTON CABINET OF MEDALS, U.S. MINT." and "INAUGURATED FEB. 22 1860." The surface shows patches of dark tarnish and wear.
