Obverse lettering	☩ F IOANNES D VALLETA M HOSP HIERVS (Translation: Fra` Jean de Vallette, master of the Hospitallers of Jerusalem)
Reverse description	Standing figure of St. John the Baptist facing slightly right, clad in a mantle, holding a tall processional cross in his left hand. To the right, a Paschal lamb rests atop an altar. The composition is rendered in the medieval style typical of hammered coinage of the Order of St. John. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by colons and a central dot, alludes to the Baptist's proclamation from the Gospel of John.
