| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized evangelist figure with a haloed head and elaborate interlaced wings and drapery, rendered in polychrome enamel (red, blue, cream, and green) with gilt outlines, depicting the lion symbol of Saint Mark as found in the Book of Kells illuminations. A Celtic knotwork border in green enamel and gilt surrounds the inner field, with a beaded rim at the edge. The legend 'THE LION OF MARK' arcs around the upper portion of the border, and 'BOOK OF KELLS' appears along the lower portion. |
