The upper face is stamped with a crowned 'GR' at 12 o'clock; at two o'clock is a stamped sword of St Paul (for the city of London); at four o'clock is a stamped 'A' (for avadepois). A further stamp at 7 o'clock is an ewer (for the Founders company). The rear face has circular concentric depressions with a slightly raised dome at the centre.
