A circular bronze medal depicts the relief profile of Nicholas Roerich facing right, his bald head and tapering beard centrally placed. Raised letters reading "NICHOLAS ROERICH" arch along the upper rim. Below the neck, the name "HENRY DROPSY" is inscribed, with the Roman numerals "XL" flanked by dots at the bottom. The dark brown metal exhibits a smooth, matte patina, with subtle highlights defining the brow and ear.
