A circular medal of warm, metallic bronze features a central relief scene. A large mushroom cloud billows from a base of jagged, upward-pointing forms. Below a flat horizon line, a dense mass of nude figures lies tangled across the bottom curve. The words "WORLD UNITY" on the left and "OR OBLIVION" on the right are positioned just above the horizon. Fine textures define the soft cloud and the massed, interwoven bodies.
