1 Scudo - Angelo De Mojana

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar position in numismatics — a non-territorial sovereign entity issuing legal tender accepted nowhere in ordinary commerce. These scudi were produced for collector sale, generating revenue for the Order's humanitarian operations. De Mojana di Cologna served as 77th Grand Master from 1962 until his death in 1988, the longest tenure in the modern Order's history.

The .986 fineness is unusually high — finer than sterling — a deliberate choice to underscore the issue's prestige rather than any minting tradition.
