A circular bronze medal, cast in warm brown with a smooth matte texture, features six lines of raised block lettering. Above the centered text detailing its 1798 founding as Jefferson Seminary, a sprig with two berries and a leaf curves toward the top. Below, a small owl perches on a leafy branch extending toward the right. The medal stands against a dark background, casting a soft shadow on the grey surface below.
