| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a high-relief scene of Saint Patrick in episcopal vestments, holding a bishop's crozier and a book, accompanied by attendant figures including a child at his feet. To the right, a detailed relief of a stone church or monastery building fills the field, with the engraver's initials GH visible in the lower center. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a raised relief map of Ireland in the center field, with MONAGHAN labeled by a dot marker. A circular legend in mixed-case Gaelic-style lettering reads around the periphery, with the franklin mint mintmark (fm) absent from the visible legend. The mirror-polished proof field contrasts sharply with the frosted relief of the map. |
