A circular bronze medal features an inscription circling an image. In profile from the shoulders up, Abraham Lincoln faces right with short hair and a beard. Curved serif letters spell "ABRAHAM" on the left and "LINCOLN" on the right. The dark, mottled surface shows light gray pitting throughout, and the relief is worn, leaving the facial features and clothing appearing flattened.
