A circular bronze medal with a weathered brown surface and golden sheen features intricate raised relief. Centered, a two-faced bust rests on a pedestal between identical crowned monograms. Above, a double-headed eagle with outspread wings wears crowns. A banner behind the heads bears text, while a Latin inscription circles the rim. The glint of light highlights textures ranging from the eagle's detailed feathers to the smooth, sculpted faces.
