| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist standing, robed in long ecclesiastical garments with nimbus, rendered in the flat Gothic linear style typical of late medieval Rhenish gold coinage. The saint's arms are extended slightly at the sides, and smaller decorative elements flank the figure in the field. The design is enclosed by a beaded inner circle, with a Latin legend identifying the patron saint running around the outer margin. |

| Additional information |
Hagenau (Haguenau) held imperial free city status within the Holy Roman Empire and exercised the right to strike gold coinage during the later medieval period as part of that privilege. The city was the administrative seat of the Décapole, the league of ten Alsatian imperial cities formalized in 1354, and its monetary output reflected both the commercial weight of that alliance and the Rhine Valley's deep integration with Rhenish gold coinage standards.
The broad dating range assigned to this type reflects genuine uncertainty among specialists rather than continuous production across 125 years.
