| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a unique position in numismatics — a non-territorial sovereign entity with no land to speak of, yet recognized by dozens of states and issuing coinage under that recognition. De Mojana di Cologna served as 77th Grand Master from 1962 until his death in 1988, overseeing a substantial expansion of the Order's humanitarian operations during the Cold War decades. The .986 fineness is notably purer than most contemporary silver issues, a deliberate choice that positioned these pieces firmly outside circulation from the outset.
