| Obverse description | Imperial orb surmounted by a cross, set within a quatrefoil or trefoil frame, all within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend in Gothic uncial script encircles the central device, reading partially FRIDRICVS IMP ROMANORVM or similar, referencing Emperor Frederick III. The overall style is characteristic of late medieval German hammered gold coinage. |

A Latin legend in Gothic uncial script surrounds the figure within a beaded border, invoking the saint as patron. The design follows the established Rhenish Goldgulden tradition, with the Baptist as the central devotional motif. |
