| Obverse description | A large stylized Florentine lily (giglio fiorentino) occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed petals and foliage in the characteristic Gothic manner derived from the Florentine florin prototype. The stem rises from a hatched base, with the three principal fronds splaying outward in elegant curves. Small decorative elements flank the lily in the upper field. The surrounding circular legend in uncial Latin characters reads: ✠ I • EPS TRCAT, identifying the issuing bishop John (Johannes) of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux. |

| Reverse description | Saint John the Baptist stands facing, depicted in full length in the center of the field, bearded and nimbed, draped in long robes rendered with fine hatched detail. His right hand is raised in blessing while his left holds a staff surmounted by a small cross. The figure stands on a ground line with small decorative elements flanking him in the field. The circular legend in uncial Latin terminates with a small tower, the heraldic emblem of the bishopric of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux: ✠ • S • IOHANNES • B •. |
