A circular bronze medal depicts a woman crouching and holding a book for a child on her lap, both facing left. Behind them, a sun with radiant rays rises between a cityscape of skyscrapers and a rocky hill. A basket of fruit and flowers sits at their feet. Capitalized text at the base of the medal reads THE NEW WORLD 1939.
