The front and back of a bronze medal show stamped relief images. One side depicts Raymond Poincaré in profile facing our left with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and star medal. Text along the border identifies him as the French President. The other side features a draped woman facing our right, surrounded by text commemorating an election. Both circular faces exhibit a smooth, dark-brown patina with crisp lettering along the borders.
