| Reverse description | Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence, is depicted seated in three-quarter view on rocky ground, his body partially draped, raising his right hand in a gesture of benediction while holding a long cross staff in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a bold baroque style with strong musculature and dynamic posture. The circular legend · IOANNES · BAPTISTA · S · surrounds the upper portion of the field, with the date 1722 inscribed in the exergue below the saint. The reverse composition reflects the longstanding Florentine tradition of honouring the city's patron on its gold coinage. |
