Obverse description Central field displays the crowned round shield of the Perellos family arms, quartered with the distinctive teardrop or water-bouget charges of the Order, enclosed within decorative sprays. The shield is surmounted by a broad coronet with five visible points. A continuous circular legend in Latin surrounds the central device, separated from it by a beaded inner border, with a further beaded or milled outer border framing the entire design.

Reverse description St. John the Baptist stands at left, robed and nimbed, extending the banner of the Order toward the kneeling Grand Master Ramon Perellos y Roccaful depicted at right in a posture of reverence and submission. The scene is rendered in a devotional baroque style characteristic of Hospitaller coinage of the period, with the date of issue appearing within the legend. A beaded border frames the composition on the inner perimeter.
