REVERSE
The reverse features a surprisingly accurate depiction of the Battle of Manila Bay. The American Far East Squadron can be seen steaming in line of battle formation in the upper portion of the medal. The lower portion of the medal depicts the Spanish Pacific Fleet fighting from their anchored position close in to shore, and the Spanish Costal Artillery batteries.
