Wow... I gave it a vigorous cleaning with a tissue paper and some windex, and a lot more detail came out. there's actually quite a lot of detail etched into the vines and flowers and whatnot. On the opposite side of the lions and chevron there's some other figure but it's badly corroded. I think I see a boat anchor though. I still can't make out the writing at the bottom.
Edit: on second thought it looks more like an axe head than an anchor.
