| Additional information |
Emmanuel de Rohan-Polduc was elected Grand Master in 1775 and proved one of the Order's more capable administrators during its final decades in Malta — he codified Maltese civil law in 1784 and maintained the island's defenses even as the Order's naval power was visibly declining. These copper grани were struck across a decade of relative stability before Napoleon's near-bloodless seizure of Malta in 1798 ended seven centuries of Hospitaller rule. The multiple KM varieties reflect successive die revisions across the issue's run, a common characteristic of the Valletta mint's small-scale copper production.
