| Obverse description | A large, finely detailed fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the Florentine gothic style with elaborate crosshatched petal surfaces and a pinecone-shaped base. The lily is flanked by small pellets positioned between its lobes. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border, separated from the central motif by a beaded inner ring. The irregular flan is characteristic of hammered medieval gold coinage. The overall design closely follows the model of the Florentine florin, adapted for the Dauphiné. |

| Reverse description | A standing full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist is depicted facing forward in the central field, wearing a hair garment and a short cloak, with a nimbus behind his bearded head. His right arm is extended outward, and his left hand holds a long cross-staff. The figure stands on a decorative baseline, rendered in the gothic engraving style typical of 14th-century feudal French gold coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the figure, with the name IOHA[NNES] legible to the right, enclosed within a beaded border. |
