| Beschrijving voorzijde | St. John the Baptist depicted full-length, standing facing, clad in robes and holding a cross-tipped scepter in his right hand. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of late 14th- to early 15th-century Low Countries ecclesiastical coinage. A lion rampant to the left appears within the surrounding legend field. The circular Latin legend naming the patron saint frames the central device. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Four cruciform coats-of-arms arranged in a cross pattern and enclosed within a double linear quadrilobe, forming the central heraldic composition. Trefoils occupy the spandrels between the lobes, providing decorative fill consistent with Gothic die-work of the period. The surrounding legend, struck in Latin, identifies the issuing bishop as Frederick, Bishop of Utrecht. The overall design follows the typical Rhenish-influenced gulden format of the early 15th century. |

Frederik van Blankenheim ruled the Bishopric of Utrecht from 1393 to 1423, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the city of Utrecht itself — the bishop and his chapter repeatedly clashed with the burghers over jurisdictional and fiscal authority. His gold gulden follows the Rhenish gulden standard adopted by the electoral alliance of the Rhine, a monetary arrangement Utrecht aligned with despite holding no electoral vote, purely to maintain trade credibility with its neighbors.
Delmonte's attribution G#929 places this among the better-documented episcopal issues of the northern Low Countries, though die varieties within Blankenheim's long reign remain imperfectly catalogued.
