The reverse field depicts an Imperial orb surmounted by a cross pattee, within a tressure of three arches.The jetton measures 18.2 mm in diameter, and is 0.5 mm thick, it weighs 0.2 g. The Jetton is a brown to green in colour and has an unveven patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plouch soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail.
