| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist standing, robed and nimbed, holding a long cross staff in his right hand and a book or tablet in his left, set against a plain field within a beaded inner circle. The saint is depicted in the Gothic ecclesiastical style typical of Rhenish goldgulden of the early 15th century. A small heraldic device appears at the base of the figure. The surrounding legend, in Gothic lettering, reads the abbreviated name and title of Archbishop John II of Nassau and Mainz. |

| Reverse description | Quartered heraldic shield of the Archbishopric of Mainz combined with the personal arms of John II of Nassau, displayed prominently in the center field within a beaded inner circle. The dexter half of the shield bears the wheel of Mainz (a six-spoked wheel on a plain field), while the sinister half bears the lion of Nassau. Small heraldic charges appear in the upper quarters. The surrounding Gothic legend names the mint city of Bingen (Oppidum Pingesiense), identifying this coin as struck at the Bingen mint. |
