A bronze medal, aged with a warm brown patina, depicts three ants in relief. One ant faces upward at the bottom, while two above face each other over fine grasslike lines. Raised block letters around the circular border read, "GO TO THE ANT CONSIDER HER WAYS AND BE WISE." A small thistle sits on our left, and a daisy on our right.
