| Obverse description | Full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist standing facing, robed, holding a long cross-scepter in his right hand; a cross appears between his legs. The saint is depicted in the Gothic figural style characteristic of late 14th-century Rhenish goldgulden. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central figure within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | Central quatrefoil frame enclosing the Nassau arms, surrounded by the four heraldic shields of the Rhenish Electoral Union: Mainz, Cologne, Trier, and the Palatinate (Pfalz), arranged symmetrically around the central device. The composition reflects the monetary alliance of the Rhenish electors, rendered in the angular Gothic style typical of hammered goldgulden of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design. |
