Two sides of a dark bronze medal feature Latin inscriptions circling an image on both sides. On the left, a profile bust of a man in military uniform with an epaulet faces right. On the right, several large sailing ships engage in a naval battle amidst clouds of smoke. Latin text curves along the top edge and fills a section at the base.
