A sterling medal featuring three figures on the front, a profile labeled "W.H. Seward", and "ALASKA YUKON PACIFIC EXPOSITION" at the top. "THE SEAL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE" and "1909" line the back rim and encircle the seal of Seattle. The medal hangs from a black ribbon that has a medal portion at the top with an image of a building in the center labeled "GOVT.O.S.BLDG.". "A.Y.P.E." and "1909" are on either side of the image. A chain extends from the top with a lobster claw clasp at the end. "STERLING | OFFICIAL MEDAL | A.Y.P.Ex. | U.S. MINT." is on the reverse. The ribbon shows minor wear, and the metal exhibits moderate oxidation.
