| Obverse description | A large fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the Florentine style with finely detailed petals and stippled lobes, rising from a crosshatched base. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by a border of pellets. The die workmanship is characteristic of mid-14th-century French imitative florins, showing bold relief typical of hammered gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | Saint John the Baptist depicted standing facing, nimbed and draped in a long robe, his right hand raised in blessing and his left holding a long cross-staff. The figure is rendered in a hieratic Gothic style consistent with Florentine florin prototypes. A circular Latin legend surrounds the figure, bordered by a pellet ring, with the saint's name partially legible in Gothic lettering. |
