This medal is constructed from zinc alloy, presenting a refined antique gold finish that speaks to its quality. The design is a testament to the game of chess, featuring raised representations of chess pieces. Dominating the upper section are a king and queen, their regal forms rendered in a detailed, three-dimensional manner. Below them stand two pawns, flanking the prominent word "CHESS," which is etched in bold, capital letters with a textured, weathered appearance.
