A bronze medal showcases low-relief designs in a uniform brown finish. One side depicts a turkey with fanned tail feathers standing atop three shallow steps, framed by the curved word AMERICA and artist name ALBERT LAESSLE. The reverse features a stylized ear of corn nestled within wide, sweeping husks. The word ABUNDANCE arches across the top. Light catching the metallic surface highlights the rhythmic lines of the bird and harvest.
