Obverse description	The obverse depicts Saint John the Baptist, nimbate and robed, standing at left and presenting the banner of the Order to the Grand Master Peter Raymond Zacosta, who kneels before him in a posture of devotion, facing left. The scene is rendered in a Byzantine-influenced Gothic style typical of Hospitaller coinage. The legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the figures within the coin's border, identifying both the patron saint and the Grand Master.
