A circular bronze medal features a profile of a man, his head tilted upward with a slightly open mouth. Stylized, wing-like forms with horizontal ridges sweep behind him. Angular block text curves along the top edge, reading, "ALL PASSES-ART ALONE ENDURING STAYS TO US." On the left, stacked text states, "THE BUST OUTLASTS THE THRONE," while the bottom reads, "THE COIN-TIBERIUS." Light glints off the raised surfaces and smooth contours.
