| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar position in numismatics: it issues coins as a sovereign entity despite controlling no territory, operating instead under international legal recognition from over 100 states. Matthew Festing, Grand Master from 2008 until his forced resignation in 2017 following an internal dispute with the Vatican over the dismissal of a senior official, appears on relatively few struck pieces before that controversy ended his tenure.
