A circular matte-gold medal features a side profile of Ceres facing right, her hair gathered at the nape of her neck and adorned with a textured wheat band. Set within a raised scalloped border, the image is surrounded by arched block letters reading, "CERES' BLESSING SO IS ON YOU." At the base, smaller characters read "JC © 39." The entire surface exhibits a uniform, soft-textured finish.
