| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist standing in a frontal, glorified pose, holding the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) before him, a standard iconographic motif for the patron saint of Wrocław. The figure is rendered in a stylized Gothic manner consistent with late 15th-century Silesian die-cutting. No mintmark is present in the field. A circular Latin legend in uncial lettering surrounds the central figure. |
