A golden-brown bronze medal, shown from two sides, features a warm, matte patina. On the left, an alert doe and fawn stand beneath a gnarled tree, framed by "ETERNAL VIGILANCE" in raised block letters. On the right, a hunch-backed vulture with layered plumage perches on a skeletal branch beneath the word "DESTRUCTION." The textured surface and raised figures follow the curve of the outer rim, highlighting the medal's circular form.
