| Reverse description | The reverse features a central device typical of Hospitaller piccoli coinage, with a standing or emblematic figure discernible in the field amid significant wear and uneven strike. The peripheral Latin legend ORDO HOSP HIERV encircles the design, identifying the issuing authority as the Order of the Hospital of Jerusalem. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than perfectly round, consistent with hand-hammered copper coinage of the late sixteenth century. Surface patination presents a dark brown to olive-green tone with areas of cuprite, indicative of prolonged circulation or burial. |
