A circular bronze medal, cast in brown tones, depicts two female figures standing in the center. On the left, a woman in armor holds a horizontal sword. Beside her, a draped figure holds a leafy staff. Below, an eagle with outstretched wings and an open beak sprawls across a broken sword. A horizon with buildings and a cross appears behind them, while raised text lines the bottom edge.
