| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered coat of arms of Grand Master Jean de Vallette, depicting a gyrfalcon in the first and fourth quarters and a lion in the second and third quarters, all within a beaded inner circle. A crown or decorative element surmounts the shield, with the surrounding legend partially visible around the coin's irregular flan. The overall style is consistent with crude hammered coinage typical of sixteenth-century Mediterranean minor issues. |
