Reverse description Within a double inner circle, the head of St. John the Baptist is depicted in slight three-quarter turn to left, rendered in the late Gothic style typical of early sixteenth-century Silesian coinage. Beneath the head, a shield bearing the arms of Breslau (Wrocław) divides the surrounding Latin legend, which commences at approximately the 11 o'clock position. The inscription implores the saint's intercession.
Reverse script Latin
Reverse lettering S: BAPTISTA SVCVRRE.
