A circular bronze medal is cast with a relief scene in a warm brown patina. At the center, a mushroom cloud rises from jagged, vertical forms. Below a horizontal ledge, a mass of intertwined nude figures lies across the foreground. Small block letters flank the cloud, reading "WORLD UNITY" on our left and "OR OBLIVION" on our right. Textured clouds and figures contrast against the smooth background of the medal's face.
