A round, bronze medal features a large cicada in raised relief, its wings folded and head pointing upward. Flanking the insect, the word "FAMA" is inscribed in block letters. A small monogram and the date "1933" sit to the lower right. A border of raised, bead-like studs circles the rim. The metal possesses a warm, brown patina, with light highlighting the insect's segmented body and the medal's smooth background.
