A circular bronze medal with a warm, brownish-gold patina depicts a nude muscular man kneeling on a mound. Facing our left, he holds a small airplane between his hands near his head. To our left, a stylized sun with sharp rays emerges from the horizon. On our right, the numbers 19 and 41 flank a circle containing the letters BP above a copyright symbol.
