Reverse description A rampant lion facing left, with raised forepaws and an elaborately curled tail, displayed prominently in the central field. The lion bears upon its breast a small escutcheon charged with the double-headed Imperial eagle. The surrounding Latin legend, interrupted by the date 1618, reads: · CONFIDENS · DNO · NON · MOVETVR · (He who trusts in the Lord shall not be moved), a Protestant-inspired motto widely used on Dutch provincial coinage of the period. The entire design is set within a beaded border on an irregular hammered flan. A Lascaris countermark, applied by the Order of St. John, is present and attests to the coin's revaluation and authorised circulation within Maltese domains.
