| Obverse description | The obverse features a left-facing bust of John MacBride in high relief, with his name inscribed in the upper field as 'JOHN MACBRIDE' and the legend 'MAJOR AND MARTYR' along the lower field. Behind the portrait, a detailed depiction of a building with a domed roof — likely the GPO or a similar historic Irish structure — is rendered in relief with colour enamel highlights. |
