A circular bronze medal with a warm brown patina features a family harvesting in relief. At the center, a bare-chested woman stands holding a long scythe. To our left, a man crouches to gather grain while a child sits in a leafy tree. On our right, another child sits holding stalks. The phrase "PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" curves along the top in raised letters, and pointed fence posts line the bottom border.
