Obverse description	Within a beaded inner circle, the Bohemian lion rampant left, crowned and with a double tail, occupying the central field in the late-medieval heraldic style typical of Silesian episcopal coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading MONETA NOVA WRATISLAVIEN, identifying this as the new coinage of Wrocław. The legend is set between the beaded inner border and the coin's outer rim.

Reverse description	The half-figure of St. John the Baptist facing, draped, holding the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) before him in the central field, rendered in the Gothic figural style characteristic of early sixteenth-century episcopal minting. The date 1505 is divided on either side of the figure as 1 and 505. A circular Latin legend surrounds the scene, identifying the patron saint: S IOANNES BAPTISTA PATRONVS.
