| Obverse description | A large stylized fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the Gothic manner with elaborate foliate detailing and crosshatched petals on the flanking lobes. A small lozenge-shaped ornament surmounts the central petal at the apex. The peripheral legend in Gothic uncial lettering reads WILhEL MVS DVX, identifying the issuing duke, and is separated from the central device by a beaded inner circle. A small cross pattée appears to the left of the fleur-de-lis within the legend field. |

| Reverse description | Saint John the Baptist is depicted standing facing, nimbed with a radiate halo, robed in long draped garments, and raising his right hand in a gesture of benediction while holding an attribute in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a flat, hieratic Gothic style characteristic of Rhenish goldgulden of the late 14th century. Stars or mullets flank the saint in the field. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial lettering reads .S.IOHA NNES B, abbreviating Sanctus Iohannes Baptista, enclosed within a beaded border. |
