A circular bronze medal depicts a scene in low relief with a dark brown patina. On the left, a woman wearing a crested helmet lunges forward, her hair and drapery rippling behind her as she holds a sword. To her right, a faceted armored tank with a raised cannon climbs over jagged debris. The composition emphasizes diagonal movement, with light highlighting metallic textures and the woman's expressive face.
