The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar legal position — a sovereign entity without territory, recognized by over 100 states, issuing coins that are technically legal tender in a jurisdiction consisting of two buildings in Rome. Matthew Festing served as 79th Prince and Grand Master from 2008 until his controversial forced resignation in 2017 under pressure from the Vatican, a dispute rooted in a conflict over the distribution of contraceptives in humanitarian aid programs.
