The convex front face is decorated with a plain border around the edge, within which a fantastic beast with two legs, long neck, large pointed ears and open mouth, the head bent back over it's body to face the long up-turned tail, is reserved on a field of decayed blue enamel.

Diameter 28mm. Height of head 7mm. Length of rivet 8mm. Height including rivet 10.5mm. Weight 10.8g. Circa 1250 - 1400.
