Two sides of a dark gray, weathered metal medal feature central images bordered by text. On the left, a bearded figure in a tunic and cloak stands with arms outstretched before jagged rock formations, flanked by the dates 930 and 1930. On the right, an interlaced design depicts four figures, including a bird with outspread wings. An inscription encircles the design on both circular faces.
