| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist, nimbed and robed, standing in the field with a scepter held in his left hand. The saint is depicted in the Gothic style typical of Aragonese florins, with fine drapery rendered in low relief. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central figure. |

| Reverse description | A large, boldly rendered fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, its three stylized petals and scrolling foliage characteristic of the Florentine-derived Aragonese florin tradition. The device is struck in low relief on an irregular flan consistent with hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend naming the issuing monarch runs around the periphery. |
