A circular bronze medallion depicts a relief bust of a man with long, wavy hair, a mustache, and a tuft below his lip, facing slightly right. He wears armor with a sash. A laurel wreath borders the edge. French inscriptions, including "IL NE FAUT PAS" at the top and "TURENNE" on the right, surround him. The brown metal is centered against a light gray background, casting a dark shadow below.
