A circular bronze medal, finished in warm brown with a soft sheen, features a leaping fish in high relief. Arcing from the lower left toward a fishing fly, the fish's body is detailed with stippled spots and ridged fins. Parallel horizontal lines cross the background, while stylized plants and rounded stones cluster at the base. Light glints off the raised surfaces, emphasizing the contrast between detailed textures and the smooth, polished metal.
