- Commemorative medal stamped in bronze, XXV anniversary of Lilly in Spain. Since 1876 in the USA.
- The high relief of the medal has a good quality. The bronze, with a copper plating, has given it a beautiful reddish patina over time.
- Obverse: A woman is seated, leaning on a book with her left hand. At her feet is a dog and at the top, what looks like a seagull. On its perimeter is the legend 'Research is a guarantee for the future'. Just where she is leaning is the company,s signature: Lilly.

- The artistic quality of the medal is very high, executed in a very personal style and with great skill, achieving harmonious and expressive effects in the high reliefs.
- We have not found any other medal like it or similar, and there is no reference to its existence.
