| Reverse description | The severed head of Saint John the Baptist depicted facing left in dramatic, Baroque-influenced relief, with flowing hair and beard rendered in fine detail, the figure evoking the imagery of a salver presentation as patron saint of the Order. A raised inner border separates the central motif from the surrounding Latin legend ☩ S ● IOAN ● BAPT ● ORA ● PRO ● NOBIS ☩, with the denomination 2 SCVDI inscribed in the lower portion of the field between two cross ornaments. The overall composition reflects the Order's devotion to its patron saint. |
