| Obverse description | Quartered shield bearing the arms of Grand Master Martin Garzez, combining the arms of the Order of St. John (plain cross) with the personal arms of Garzez (featuring a crane and stars), all within a beaded inner circle. The shield is set centrally in the field without additional ornament. A circular Latin legend runs between the beaded inner border and the rope-twist outer border, identifying the issuer by name and title. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust of the severed head of Saint John the Baptist, rendered with flowing hair and waves suggesting the presentation on a platter, centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle. The artistic treatment is characteristic of late 16th-century Maltese hammered coinage, with the head slightly turned. A circular Latin legend reading "PROPTER VERITATEM ET IVSTITIAM" (For truth and justice) encircles the central device between the beaded inner border and the rope-twist outer rim. |
