    Here is information as gathered from the UGA archives (1985 handbook):
    The bicentennial medallion was created by professor of art William Thompson in commemoration of the University of Georgia's 200th anniversary. The undulating, well-worn surface of the medallion gives it the feel and appearance of an antique coin. The lettering on the medallion is repeated in a double positive-negative contrast to emphasize the two centuries of history that the university has witnessed. A stately tree symbolizing the age and growth of the University of Georgia is the dominant image of the obverse side. The branches of the tree represent the three-pronged mission of the university: teaching, research, and service. Also represented in the branches are symbols of the Chapel and the university arch. On the reverse side of the medallion in raised relief, the sun bursts through the clouds and shines on the Chapel, symbolizing pride in the university's past accomplishments and faith in its future achievements.
