| Obverse description | Saint John the Baptist, nimbate and robed, standing at left, extends the banner of the Order toward the Grand Master Giovanni Battista Orsini, who kneels in adoration facing him to the right. The investiture scene is rendered in the Gothic hammered tradition, with fine drapery detail on both figures. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition within a beaded border. |
