A circular bronze medal features a muscular man in profile, striding purposefully. He wears a patterned head-covering and loincloth, scattering seeds from an outstretched hand while clutching a heavy sack. Stylized rays emanate behind him, framed by the raised inscription "WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH." His stylized anatomy and the geometric rows of seeds contrast with the medal's smooth, golden-brown surface. The name "LAWRIE" is etched at the base.
