| Reverse description | Standing figure of Saint John the Baptist, nimbed and draped in a rough mantle, raising his right hand in blessing toward a kneeling armored knight who holds a standard or banner behind him. The composition reflects the devotional relationship between the Order and its patron saint. The circular legend PIETATE· ·VINCES· ('By piety thou shalt conquer') surrounds the design within a beaded border, the motto serving as the principal device of the reverse. |
