| Obverse description | Full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist standing facing, robed, holding a bible in his left hand and the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) in his right; the coat-of-arms of Frankfurt is displayed in the lower field. The design is rendered in the Gothic style typical of late 15th-century German hammered coinage, with a beaded inner border framing the central motif. |

| Reverse description | Imperial orb surmounted by a cross, set within a Gothic trefoil quatrefoil frame; the orb symbolises imperial authority and is a characteristic device of Frankfurt goldgulden of this period. A circular Latin legend in uncial lettering surrounds the central design, enclosed by a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the standardised reverse type used on Frankfurt goldgulden throughout the late medieval period. |
