This circular bronze medal features a central shield in raised relief, backed by a rising sun with five rectangular rays. A sword entwined in leafy garlands stands to the left, while a flaming torch and large feather flank the right. Inscriptions stamped into the warm, metallic surface read "FOR GOD AND HIS CHILDREN" and "CONDON MEDAL." Soft glints of light catch the smooth edges, highlighting the uniform texture and deep golden sheen.
