Large thistle down either side, at the base of each a rectangle containing a lion, in red enamel, and in the centre a tower - labelled as 'Tower of Empire'. Maker's mark engraved on back, which is otherwise plain. Pierced with rivet holes at corners for attachment. Part of collection donated by Amy Johnson's father in October 1958.
