Two sides of a circular bronze medal feature detailed reliefs. On the left, a rider on a horse galloping right aims a pistol, flanked by the words "PONY EXPRESS" and "TEN DAYS TO SAN FRANCISCO." On the right, a covered wagon drawn by oxen traverses a mountainous landscape beneath a small sun. Below, the phrase "NEW FRONTIERS" sits above an ox skull and the name JAMES EARLE FRASER along the lower rim.
