Gilt header and with image of Independence Hall and liberty bell. Light blueish ribbon that reads "To The First Lady of the City" although the top header to which it is attached force the ribbon to be bent over so the wording is partically obscured, as originally produced.

Presents beautifully, medal and header in excellent condition, ribbon is folded over (probably as issued since there is no way it could have spread based on the small width of the header).
