Two circular bronze faces display raised relief. On the obverse, a profile head wears a crested helmet with stylized hair cascading below. Encircling the rim, text commemorates the University of Louisville sesquicentennial. The reverse contains centered, angular lettering detailing the institution's 1798 charter. A twig-like branch sits above the text, while a stylized owl perched on a limb rests below. Light glints off the polished bronze, highlighting sharp lettering and smooth fields.
