| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a prominent eight-pointed Maltese Cross in high relief, the iconic emblem of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, with each arm featuring a V-shaped notch at its tip. The cross occupies most of the inner circle, which is bounded by a beaded border. The date 1743 appears in the lower portion of the legend surrounding the cross, with additional lettering completing the circular inscription along the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Manuel Pinto de Fonseca, a Portuguese nobleman elected Grand Master in 1741, ruled the Order for an extraordinary 32 years — the longest tenure of any 18th-century Grand Master. His administration coincided with a period of fiscal strain as the Order's relevance in Mediterranean naval affairs steadily contracted. The copper grano sat at the lowest denomination in the Order's coinage hierarchy, struck primarily to facilitate small commerce within Malta's tightly controlled economy rather than to project political authority.
