| Obverse description | Central figure of a standing saint rendered in Gothic style, depicted facing forward within a pointed oval mandorla. The saint, likely John the Baptist, is shown in flowing draped robes, raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing while holding a cross-staff in his left hand. The figure is set against a finely hatched field, with the mandorla bordered by a beaded inner ring. A Gothic uncial legend runs continuously around the periphery of the coin, separated from the inner design by a toothed border. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a large heraldic shield of arms surmounted by an open crown, displaying a complex quartered composition incorporating the arms of the Palatinate (barry of six, bendy counterchanged with a lion), Bavaria (lozengy), Luxembourg (a lion), and additional dynastic quarters. Four smaller escutcheons are arranged around the central shield in a cruciform pattern, each bearing subsidiary armorial devices. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial script is separated from the central device by a toothed inner border and an outer beaded rim, consistent with the hammered florin tradition of the early fifteenth century. |
