The annular frame (with an external diameter of 26.9mm and internal 21.0mm) is of sub-rectangular section, with convex faces (1.7mm - 2.0mm thick and 2.4mm - 3.2mm wide). The frame is decorated on one face with four zones of between six and eight transverse grooves, positioned at regular intervals. The frame is undecorated between the four zones. The rear of the frame is undecorated. There is a constriction for the pin on the frame but there is no notch on the opposite side.

The pin gradually narrows to the tip. The surface has a dark-green patina with areas of pale green surface loss.
