Two circular sides of a silver-colored medal feature stylized relief figures. On the left, a man's profile gazes upward, framed by layered, wing-like arcs. Inscriptions read: "ALL PASSES ART ALONE ENDURING STAYS TO US" and "THE BUST OUTLASTS THE THRONE THE COIN TIBERIUS." On the right, a lithe figure reaches toward stars above clouds and radiating lines. Encircling the edge, text states: "TOO LOW THEY BUILD WHO BUILD BENEATH THE STARS."
