Two circular silver-colored medal faces feature raised relief figures and block lettering on a matte surface. On the left, a hawk wearing a crown stands over a dove, surrounded by the text THE DOVES ELECT A HAWK THEIR KING. On the right, a dog with a bone in its mouth gazes into water at its reflection. The inscription LOSE NOT THE SUBSTANCE FOR THE SHADOW follows the edge.
