A circular bronze medal depicts five figures in relief on a silver-toned surface. In the foreground, a man and woman kneel with their hands pressed together in prayer. Behind them, a figure stands with one arm raised as if speaking. To the left, two figures sit in chairs. The words "FREEDOM OF" curve along the top edge, while "SPEECH" and "RELIGION" are inscribed at the bottom.
