There are traces of gilding on the front face and possibly the remains of blue enamel. The back face is worn.This mount measures 37.48mm in diameter, 1.77mm in thickness, 6.60g in weight.There is a similar example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p. 167, no. 793) and recorded on the PAS database (SF-CC13E8).
