The front is decorated with a cross pattée motif, the arms of which extend to the periphery of the disc. The area formed by the cross has gilded waffle-work in raised relief. The areas between the arms are plain and not gilded. The rear face is plain.Both faces of the disc are corroded and in poor condition. Traces of a mid-green patina have survived on each face. However, the patina is more evident on the rear than at the front.
