A circular bronze medal features low-relief carvings on two sides. On the first side, a shirtless, helmeted soldier kneels to offer a bowl to a seated man on our left. On the second side, a massive mushroom cloud rises from a horizon above prone, entangled figures. The text "WORLD UNITY" and "OR OBLIVION" flanks the explosion. A small circular monogram is stamped at the bottom edge of the first side.
