| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist standing in the field, depicted in long robes with an animal (lamb) at his feet to the left and a second animal to the right, in the Florentine Gothic tradition derived from the original Florentine florin type. The saint's head is rendered with a nimbus or crown of foliage. The surrounding Latin legend reads S IOHANNES B, identifying the patron saint. |

| Reverse description | A large, boldly struck fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the Florentine style with three prominent petals and sweeping curved sepals at the base, faithful to the classic florin reverse type. The surrounding Latin legend reads ARAGO REX FR, referencing the royal title of the King of Aragon. The overall design is characteristic of Aragonese florin coinage of the fifteenth century, with the legend distributed around the periphery of the irregularly shaped hammered flan. |
