The medal is silver, it is 2 1/8 inch in diameter and in circulated condition with a spot on the reverse. This medal is listed in the Julian catalog as AM-61.

Also, at the bottom rim in tiny letters it reads TAYLOR - BIRM. The reverse at the rim reads NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY with the year 1859 engraved at the bottom rim.
