| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a high-relief scene of Saint Patrick disembarking from a sailing vessel, shown in full figure at center wearing episcopal vestments and mitre, right hand raised in blessing and holding a crozier. He is accompanied by several attendant figures on either side, with stylized waves and the ship's rigging visible in the background. The legend appears in the exergue below the scene. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a raised relief map of Ireland centered in the field, with the place name CILL MHANTÁIN marked on the eastern coast. A circular legend surrounds the map reading 'saint patrick lands at cill mhantáin in 432 a.d.' The mirror-polished field provides a stark contrast to the textured relief of the map. |
