This medal is crafted from durable zinc alloy, giving it a substantial feel and a lustrous, antique brass finish. The primary design element is the outline of the United States, which serves as the central motif. The left portion of the medal boldly represents the American flag, complete with raised stars scattered across its surface and alternating horizontal bands. These bands are rendered in a darker, recessed finish, creating a contrast with the raised stars and the overall brass hue of the medal.
