| Obverse description | The obverse presents a chess pawn device in high relief at center, its body merging into a pointed spire rising toward the top of the shield-shaped field. Below the pawn, a kite-shaped heraldic shield bearing a cross pattee is rendered in relief, flanked by radiating fan-like architectural tracery that fills the background in the manner of Gothic rose-window stonework. The entire composition is contained within a multi-lobed, cathedral-arch outline with a deeply recessed concave field designed to interlock with the convex reverse of a companion piece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is convex and domed, mirroring the concave obverse to allow multiple pieces to stack and interlock securely. The surface carries a subtle continuation of the radiating tracery pattern visible on the obverse, with no additional legend or device present. |
