The perimeter of this 1-1/4 inch die-struck 'Spelling Bee Award' medal is bordered with a method of scalloping that is identical to diamond cut engraving. It is available in gold, silver, and bronze and can be engraved or imprinted on the back face, as the front face comes engraved with the spelling bee design. It illustrates a bee sitting on top of a stack of books, with various words hovering around them; 'Spelling Bee Award' is imprinted along the bottom curve of the graphic.
