| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a unique position in international law — a non-territorial sovereign entity recognized by over 100 states, issuing its own coins, passports, and stamps despite holding no land beyond its Rome headquarters. Andrew Bertie, a British-born Prince and Grand Master from 1988 until his death in 2008, was the first English Grand Master since the sixteenth century. The Order's coinage is legal tender in a jurisdiction with no permanent resident population to spend it.
