There are two coats of arms in this plate—to the left, oval in shape and with a smaller medallion dangling from the bottom. The field is divided in half by a invecked bend with three horseshoes upon it. At the top left is an open left palm. In the lower divide is a caduceus with a crown; in the upper divide is a single crown. A motto can be seen in the border that surrounds the plate, reading Heavens Light Our Guide. To the right is a coat of arms divided into two halves. The left half features the design of the shield to the left; the right half is divided into quadrants and with two designs—one with a sole lion, the other further divided into eighths. The field is bordered by a large leafy wreath. A knight's helmet is at the helm for both coats, flanked by mantling, and featuring a sword, horseshoe, and a pair of wings at the crest. Beneath all of this is the motto Ne Tentes Aut Perfice.
