The image shows a round medal featuring two figures in classical attire shaking hands. The figures are draped in long garments, with one wearing a hat and the other a veil or hood. The medal is copper-colored, with detailed engravings defining the folds of their garments. Inscribed on the medal are the words "MEDICINA VETUS ET NOVA" around the edge, and "VNAM FACIMVS VTRAMQVE" below the figures. The craftsmanship displays a high level of detail in the depiction of the garments and facial features.
