| Obverse description | The obverse features a high-relief device of a banshee — a wailing female spirit from Irish mythology — depicted in flowing robes with wind-swept drapery, set against a atmospheric cemetery scene. An intricately detailed Celtic high cross occupies the right field, surrounded by gnarled trees and rocky ground, filling the entire field to the rim with no legend. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large diamond-shaped Celtic knotwork device at center, composed of intricately interwoven cords in high relief. The legend 'CELTIC LORE' arcs across the upper field in stylized lettering, while the weight and purity inscription appears in the lower field. The border is formed by a continuous band of Celtic interlace incorporating two confronting wolf-head creatures flanking the central device at left and right. |
