The inscription around the edge reads "CREDE MICHI" which translates as "believe me". The back face of the seal matrix has a suspension loop near the top in the form of a long, low, curved lug pierced with a circular hole.Diameter 15.2mm, thickness (inc loop) 6.6mm, thickness (plate only) 3.1mm, weight 3.70g
