A bronze medal, aged with a muted brown patina, consists of two circular sides in low relief. One face depicts Frederick the Great astride a horse facing left, encircled by Latin text with "LISSA DEC 5" at the base. The reverse shows a dense battle scene with smoke and clusters of figures under an arc of Latin text. Detailed with "ROSBACH NOV 5 1757" at the bottom, surfaces reveal light gray oxidation.
