In some cases, the disc pommel is a strip of leather wound around over itself, see this old posting.

As Lee shows in his link, kaskara generally have a flat disk pommel that looks much like a checker game piece.

This is a 'ring pommel' Vietnamese Truong Dao.
Some Irish and other nations were known to have 'ring pommel' swords.
Also, another picture of one of my karkaras.
