| Obverse description | A draped female figure in classical attire, striding to the left and floating above a radiant star-rosette, extends her right arm forward to offer a laurel branch, while cradling additional laurel wreaths over her left arm; a billowing sash trails behind her. The circumferential legend runs along the upper border, with the date in Roman numerals completing the inscription at lower right. |

| Reverse description | A large laurel wreath frames the central field, incorporating various sporting implements: a winged shoe (talaria) at the apex, oars and a tennis racket with crossed bats on the sides, a penny-farthing bicycle, a boxing glove, and a baseball bat with ball at the lower portion. The word CHAMPION is spelled out in letters interspersed among the upper wreath leaves, with the event inscription engraved in the central field, and the maker's signatures incused along the lower border. |
