White metal medallion. Center of obverse features profile bust of George Washington surrounded by the words "United We Stand Divided We Fall / 1856" and "The Union Must & Shall Be Preserved / Jackson." The name "Key" appears under the profile bust of Washington. The reverse features a buck jumping over a canon (Buck-canon) and the year 1856. The words "and Breckinridge" are at the bottom. There are 32 stars in the upper field, representing the 31 states then in the Union and an extra star, presumably advocating for the admission of Kansas as a slave state.
