The image features a gold-colored coin with a profile engraving of a man's bust in the center, with detailed clothing depicted, including a jacket and a tie. The inscription "COL. JAMES FISK JR." encircles the portrait along the edge. The background of the coin has a slightly textured finish, and there is a small hole near the top edge, possibly intended for hanging or display purposes. The engraver's name, "R. WILLIAMS," appears beneath the portrait. The coin is set against a dark blue, possibly velvet, background, which provides contrast to highlight the coin's features.
