Which decoration has George Washington's picture on it?

Explanation:
George Washington’s portrait appears on the front of the Purple Heart. This decoration traces back to Washington’s Badge of Military Merit, established in 1782, and the modern Purple Heart keeps his likeness on the obverse as a nod to its origin. The other awards use symbols or figures that do not include Washington’s image, so they don’t display his portrait.
