A circular bronze medal depicts two figures in low relief with a warm, brown patina. On the left, a shirtless man with a bandaged head slumps against a rocky ledge. On the right, a kneeling figure wearing a helmet and trousers holds a small rectangular cup toward the first man's mouth. Centered at the base, a circular emblem containing the letters BN sits above a copyright symbol along a textured ground line.
