| Reverse description | Standing frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence and model for the florin type, depicted bearded and nimbed, clad in a rough mantle, his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand holding a long cross-staff or reed. The figure stands on a ground line with no exergue inscription. The surrounding legend reads S IOHA NNES B, identifying the saint, with decorative stops between elements. The style is characteristic of 14th-century Italian-influenced hammered gold coinage. |
