Reverse description	Central field depicts a facing bust or image of Saint John the Baptist within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the Gothic manner typical of Silesian episcopal coinage of the early sixteenth century. The figure is shown with naturalistic hair and foliate or fur-trimmed garment, consistent with iconographic conventions of the period. A circular Latin devotional or dedicatory legend surrounds the inner border, invoking the patron saint. The reverse presents a slightly convex flan surface with well-struck inner devices and a plain outer rim.
