A bronze medal shown from both sides features a dark, metallic patina. On the left, a spotted fish leaps toward an insect, its arching body detailed with scales and fins above rippling water and stones. On the right, a fishing lure with bristled wings and a hooked bottom is centered. A thin line extends from the top of the lure, forming a large loop. Relief lines and dots detail the fish and tackle.
