A bronze medal features two circular sides in raised relief. Left, a shirtless man crouches to harvest grain beside a woman holding a scythe and two children. Text reads "PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." Right, three shirtless men maneuver a large crate under a mechanical hook. Text reads "GOODWILL TOWARD MEN." Both scenes are rendered in a dark brown patina with a textured base.
