| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large, finely rendered fleur-de-lis in the Florentine style, with three prominent petals rising from a decorated base; the lateral petals display crosshatched stippling characteristic of Gothic goldsmith work. The fleur-de-lis is flanked by a dotted inner border. The surrounding circular legend in Gothic Latin letters runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by a beaded inner circle. The overall design closely follows the Florentine florin prototype, adapted for the Principality of Orange under Raymond V. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Saint John the Baptist facing, nimbed and bearded, robed in a long draped garment with finely incised folds rendered in the Gothic style. The saint raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing while holding a long staff or cross in his left hand; to his upper left and upper right appear small accessory devices, likely mint marks. A beaded inner border encircles the central figure, with the Gothic Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The composition follows the Florentine florin convention for the depiction of the patron saint. |
