The sculpture is a head profile of a young man with curly hair, looking right on a round coin or medallion. The material of the sculpture is likely a bronze or brass alloy, with a rich golden-brown color and some dark spots. The surface is smooth with text inscriptions encircling the profile. The details of the hair and facial features are finely crafted, providing depth and texture. The inscription around the edge is in block letters. The medal is flat and circular, designed for a top-down view, reminiscent of historical currency or commemorative items.
