| Obverse description | Standing full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist depicted in Gothic style, facing front, wearing a long draped robe and holding a book or tablet in one hand while the other is raised in a gesture of blessing. A lamb (Agnus Dei) is visible near the saint's feet, a traditional iconographic attribute of John the Baptist. The figure is rendered in high relief with fine linear drapery typical of late 14th-century Aragonese die-cutting. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading +S·IOHANNES·B, identifying the patron saint. |
