| Reverse description | A nimbed figure of Saint John the Baptist is depicted facing, standing in high relief at the centre of the coin, rendered in the late Gothic hammered style typical of early sixteenth-century Silesian coinage. The saint is shown in flowing robes, holding or blessing the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) before him. The Latin legend MVNVS CESA MAXIMI 1525 encircles the figure between beaded borders, referencing the imperial gift or privilege of Emperor Maximilian I. |
