Obverse description	St. John the Baptist stands facing right, robed in a long garment, extending the banner of the Order toward Grand Master Philippe Villiers de L'Isle Adam, who kneels in supplication to the left. The composition reflects the devotional iconographic tradition of the Knights Hospitaller, with the standing saint rendered in a hieratic, stylized manner characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the period. The surrounding field carries a Latin legend identifying the Grand Master and his allegiance to St. John. The inscription is rendered in Gothic lettering interspersed with ornamental stops.
