| Reverse description | Central field depicts two clasped hands (a dextrarum iunctio), symbolising faith and alliance, with the date 1591 inscribed above the hands within a wreath or decorative border. The denomination numeral X (denoting 10 Grani) appears below the clasped hands, flanked by stops. The peripheral legend in Latin, commencing with a cross pattée, carries the pious motto of the Order. The overall composition is characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Maltese Grand Masters of this period. |
