| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a dramatic high-relief scene of Saint Patrick, robed and accompanied by a companion bearing a cross, confronting and striking down the grotesque pagan idol Crom Cruaich with a staff. Several prostrate or cowering figures occupy the lower and left fields, rendered in fine detail against a plain mirrored field background. |
