| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long cross pattée extending to the inner circle, its arms terminating in flared ends and dividing the field into four quarters, each containing a small star or mullet in the angles. The cross cuts through the innermost of two concentric circular legends, which encircle the entire design within a beaded border, typical of Rhenish blanken coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John I ruled Cleves during a period of persistent small-change scarcity across the Lower Rhine, and the blanken was specifically introduced to fill the gap between the heavy silver coinage and the near-worthless copper issues that dominated petty commerce. The denomination takes its name from the Middle Dutch word for "bright" or "shining" — a reference to the freshly blanched silver surface that distinguished it from debased local imitations flooding the same markets.
Cleves maintained its mint rights jealously during John's tenure, a privilege repeatedly contested by neighboring Gelderland and the ecclesiastical mints of Cologne.
