A circular bronze medal shown from both sides. The left face features a winged figure with a solar halo, flanked by shields bearing French and American symbols. On the right, a relief portrait depicts a mustached Marshal Foch in a military cap. Raised lettering curves along the border, commemorating his visit to the United States alongside the Roman numeral MCMXXI. Light catches the raised details, casting soft shadows against the medal's smooth, aged patina.
