A circular bronze medal depicts a muscular, nude man in relief. He balances on his right leg atop a thin line, with his left leg raised and bent. His right arm curls to hold a sphere against his neck, and his left arm reaches toward the upper right. Block letters surrounding him read "19RT36," "YOUNG THY," and "REJOICE OH MAN IN YOUTH." The medal features a warm, golden-brown patina.
