| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist standing, depicted in long robes with characteristic drapery folds, holding a long cross-staff in his right hand and cradling the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) in his left arm. The saint's nimbed head faces forward in the Gothic manner typical of Aragonese florins. A circular Latin legend surrounds the figure within a beaded inner border. |
