A circular bronze medal with a warm brown patina features log cabins billowing smoke. In the foreground, a figure in a tricorne hat and long coat points toward the houses, flanked by smaller figures and a tall tree. Arched text along the rim reads "KITTANNING DESTROYED BY COL. ARMSTRONG," while the bottom section is inscribed with the date "SEPTEMBER 8, 1756."
