An eagle in the center supports shields of the United States and France. In a scroll at the bottom is: "FOCH-LAFAYETTE-WASHINGTON-PERSHING" and "1776-1921." On the reverse is a "MAP OF THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING ALASKA" and "MARSHALL / FERDINAND FOCH / FROM THE / SCHOOL CHILDREN OF AMERICA." Around the edge is: "DIRECTED BY THE F.R.F. JAMES M. HALSTED PRES. CECILE SARTORIS, VICE-PRES." On the rim of the medal is: "REPLICA FOR PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING FROM THE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF AMERICA / 24K." The medal came in a black leather case with "PRESIDENT / WARREN G. HARDING" on top and red silk and plush lining. Inside the case there is a flap with a hole in the middle so that the medal can be viewed on both sides without being removed.
