A dark brown bronze medal depicts a muscular, nude man seated cross-legged in relief. He has long, flowing hair and holds small plants in his uplifted hands, palms facing inward. Below him, stylized rows of corn stalks grow from a curved base, flanking the words "TO REAP" in capital letters. A faint arc curves behind his torso. Small initials "D.H." and a copyright symbol are visible on the right.
