A circular, silver-toned bronze medal features raised relief figures. "FREEDOM OF" arcs along the top edge. On the left, two seated men in coats appear above "SPEECH." In the center, a standing figure faces away with upraised arms. To the right, a kneeling man and woman with hands pressed in prayer are positioned above "RELIGION." The stylized forms stand on a tiered base against a matte, slightly worn surface.
