| Obverse description | Full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist standing facing, robed in flowing drapery, with a small eagle displayed to the left of his head serving as a heraldic device. The saint holds attributes consistent with his iconographic tradition, rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of mid-14th-century Rhenish goldgulden coinage. A circular uncial legend surrounds the central figure within a beaded or rope border. The overall composition closely follows the Florentine florin prototype, adapted with regional heraldic and hagiographic elements. |

| Reverse description | A large stylized fleur-de-lis (lily) occupies the central field, rendered in the bold Gothic manner derived directly from the Florentine florin prototype. The lily's three principal petals radiate upward with elaborate foliate detail, flanked by two curling side petals, and set upon a trefoil base. A circular uncial legend surrounds the central device within a beaded border. The design is typical of Rhenish goldgulden imitations struck by minor lords asserting coinage rights in the mid-14th century. |
