Beschrijving voorzijde	The Grand Master depicted in a kneeling posture facing left before a patriarchal cross, rendered in the conventional devotional style of late medieval ecclesiastical coinage. His heraldic coat of arms is displayed prominently in the left field behind him. The surrounding legend in Latin uncial characters identifies the issuer as Brother Baptist Orsini, Master of the Hospitallers. The composition follows the established iconographic tradition of the Rhodian Hospitaller series, emphasizing the piety and authority of the Grand Master.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A half-length nimbate figure of St. John the Baptist is depicted in frontal presentation, holding a nimbate Agnus Dei (sacrificial lamb) in his left hand. The banner of the Order of St. John is shown behind the figure at right, serving as an attribute identifying the patron saint of the Hospitallers. The surrounding Latin legend in uncial script references the Hospital of St. John of Rhodes. The overall style is characteristic of the hammered silver coinage produced at Rhodes under the Hospitaller masters of the fifteenth century.
