The medal hangs from a ribbon showing the Union flag and a blue bar, one of which features an eagle. The engraving on this medal consists of Union imagery and many symbols. The front shows the goddess of liberty flanked by a soldier and a sailor clasping hands, representing loyalty. In the middle two children receive charitable reassurance from the soldiers. On the sides are a National Flag and an Eagle and a bundle of rods (fasco) representing the power of the Union. Each point on the star is engraved with a symbol of the branches of the military: A bugle for the infantry, cannons for the artillery men, a musket for the Marines, sabers for the cavalry, and an anchor for the Navy. The back side of the medal is decorated with more symbols of the Union victory, including a laurel branch, the National Shield, and twenty-four Corps Badges.
