This is a photograph of a round, bronze-toned medal. The medal features detailed engravings and a raised design on its surface, including an allegorical figure in the center. The figure is depicted holding a laurel wreath in one hand and a staff with a flag over her shoulder in the other. She stands on a globe with symbols such as a fasces and a caduceus. Near the edge of the medal, there is an inscription in Latin that reads "REGIT VIRTUTIBUS ORBEM." The craftsmanship of the medal is intricate and showcases detailed work.
