There are additional ring and annulets incised into the terminal/heads.The reverse is undecorated although the pin lug and catchplate remain in situ with the iron pin remaining in a heavily corroded state across the back. Some abrasion has occurred particularly around the terminals but otherwise it remains in good condition. It has a dark green patination apart from the abrasion which has verdi gris and the corroded pin which is dark brown Measurements: 32.58mm long, 11.92mm wide, 6.60mm thick (including lug,plate is 1.46mm front plate) and 3.84g in weight. |
