A circular bronze medal with a warm, golden sheen features a relief of an eagle facing left. The bird's wings spread upward in thick, tiered layers of feathers, and its talons grip a heavy, broken chain. Its body is intricately textured with overlapping plumage, contrasting against the smooth background. The eagle's head is in sharp profile, creating soft shadows across the lustrous surface of the disc.
