| 裏面の説明 | The reverse depicts a full-length standing figure of Saint John the Baptist (the patron saint of Florence, whose florin type this coinage imitates), shown facing, with long hair and beard, clad in a hairshirt and mantle rendered with fine drapery lines. The saint raises his right hand in blessing and holds a long cross-staff in his left hand. Two small heraldic devices, possibly lions or eagles, flank the figure in the upper field. The surrounding uncial Latin legend reads: S. IOHANNES. B, identifying Saint John. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, consistent with the hammered technique of medieval Brabantine gold coinage. |

John III of Brabant struck this gold guilder during a period of intense monetary competition among the Low Countries princes, each racing to produce credible gold coinage that could displace Florentine florins in regional trade circuits. The issue draws directly on the florin tradition — not by coincidence, but because Brabant's cloth and wool trade with Italy made Florentine-standard gold the de facto benchmark. John needed his own gold to circulate at par.
His reign saw Brabant at its territorial peak before partition, and the duchy's mint output from these years is notably thin in surviving examples.
