A circular silver-gray medal features a relief carving of three figures. Centrally, a man in overalls and a hat stands holding a wheat bundle, with a small calf at his side. Beside him, a seated woman supports a child standing on her lap. Arched block letters reading 'FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FROM FEAR' border the top, while the artist's signature, 'C. L. SCHMITZ,' is inscribed below.
