The lion was sculpted by George William Hill, who was inspired by the Lion of Belfort, a monumental statue by Frédéric Bartholdi in Belfort, France.
Smith became a contractor in New York City and did much work for the federal government, including the stone ice-breaker at Bridgeport, Connecticut, the jetties at the mouth of the Connecticut River, the foundation for the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, the Race Rock Lighthouse (southwest of Fishers Island, New York) and many life-saving stations.
On the obverse of the medal is the bust of Frédéric Bartholdi, facing slightly to the right and holding in his right hand his small bronze sculpture of Lady Liberty, his template for construction of the Statue of Liberty National Monument at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor.
