Obverse lettering F·EMMANVEL PINTO M·M·H·S·S·1761
Reverse description Standing full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist, facing front, robed in a camel-skin garment tied at the waist. His raised right hand is extended in a gesture of blessing, while his left arm holds a tall processional staff bearing a cross-topped pennant. A paschal lamb rests on rocky ground at his feet to the right, surrounded by naturalistic herbage in the field. The denomination T·XV is inscribed in the exergue, and a abbreviated Latin legend from Matthew 11:11 — NON SVRREXIT MAIOR — is distributed around the periphery.
