| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Knights of St. John, headquartered on Malta after their expulsion from Rhodes in 1522, routinely countermarked foreign silver to legitimize its circulation within their domain. This piece is a Dutch half leeuwendaalder — struck in the Northern Netherlands and widely exported across Mediterranean trade routes — host to the Order's countermark applied under Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt, whose tenure ran from 1601 to 1622. The leeuwendaalder was specifically targeted because its reliable silver content made it trusted currency from Aleppo to Algiers.
Wignacourt's administration was financially strained by continuous coastal defense against Ottoman raids, which drove the need for tighter monetary control over what actually circulated within Maltese territory.
