The Carnegie Hero Fund Silver Medal (large model) is a civilian award presented to individuals who have shown remarkable courage and self-sacrifice in saving human lives.

The medal is struck in silvered metal and features, on the obverse, the profile portrait of Andrew Carnegie, with his name inscribed in a circular legend.
