The dimensions are 1 1/8" wide by 2" tall. Drilled through the finial of the crown is an opening for a chain or ribbon to pass through to allow this to be worn around the neck. The medallion is heavy in feel, there are eagles in the sides of the crown and the entire medallion appears to be molded and cast in one piece.
