| Obverse description | At center, an eight-pointed Maltese cross — emblem of the Order of St John — is prominently displayed above a heraldic hippocamp supporting the Order's coat of arms. To the right, a knight of the Order of St John stands in full martial attire with sword drawn, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The legend and denomination appear along the periphery. The design is executed in a highly detailed engraved style characteristic of the Austrian Mint's commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a knight of the Order of St John, shown in three-quarter view from behind, wearing a draped mantle bearing the distinctive Maltese cross, engaged in negotiation with a seated Eastern merchant at a market stall. The merchant, turbaned and robed, gestures expressively across a table bearing trade goods including a ceramic jug and scrolled documents. In the left background, a harbor scene with lateen-rigged sailing vessels and a domed cityscape evocative of the medieval Levant are rendered in fine detail. The entire scene is framed by a beaded border and executed in the high-relief engraved style characteristic of the Austrian Mint's Knights' Tales commemorative series. |
