| Obverse description | Central relief depicting a fantastical hybrid figure combining a butterfly with human features: the wings are formed by flowing hair-like strands incorporating two large human eyes as wing spots, while the body rises vertically from foliage at the base, terminating in a floral head at the apex. Scrolling tendrils flank the upper body in the field, with no legend present. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field features a central circular medallion divided into four segments by a cross, each segment containing relief imagery suggestive of heraldic or foliate motifs. Surrounding the central device, inscribed in a flowing cursive script arranged around the field, is the legend referencing Goldsmiths Hall, Medals Today, and July 1973. |
