There are recesses between the circular mouldings and there is a central depression. The outer rim and central circle are raised higher than the circle in between. There are traces of gilding on the upper surface of the outer rim. The reverse is flat and rises slightly towards the centre beneath the original position of the pin. The remains of a double pin lug and catchplate are protruding. The pin is missing. Patchy mid-green patina with iron staining around the pin lug.
