The geocoin is in the shape of a castle. The country flag of Wales is shown on Side A with the text “Cymru” the Welsh for “Wales” and “Y Ddraig Goch” which translates to mean Welsh Dragon. The national flower of Wales the daffodil is seen at the centre of Side B alongside the trackable code. Also on Side B are two leeks, two Prince of Wales Plumes and mention of the patron saint of Wales St. David. The trackable icon is the red Welsh Dragon.

The references draw a conclusion of the designer above, however, it does not seem to be documented.
