A circular bronze medal depicts a muscular male figure in relief. On the left, he sits cross-legged atop an orb, holding corn in each hand above stalks and the words "TO REAP." On the right, he kneels to sow seeds as two stylized figures with flowing limbs float above him. The phrase "MAN MUST SOW" curves along the bottom edge of the dark surface.
