| Obverse lettering | VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX |
| Reverse description | The central field is divided into three lobed circular compartments arranged in a trefoil pattern, each depicting a notable Victorian invention in relief: a bicycle at the top, a hydraulic press at the lower left, and a surveying instrument with a lathe at the lower right. A cartouche bearing the date 1897 occupies the centre where the lobes meet, with a sunburst motif below. The circumferential legend reads THE GRAND INVENTIONS COMPETITION at the top and MEDAL OF MERIT at the bottom, separated by raised dots. |
