| Reverse description | Full-length figure of St. John the Baptist standing in three-quarter profile to the right, head turned to the left, depicted in flowing robes and holding an elongated Latin cross with both hands. The saint's pose is rendered in a late medieval hammered style typical of Maltese coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the figure, referencing the Baptist's proclamation from the Gospel of John. |
