背面描述	Saint John the Baptist, depicted standing to the right with a nimbus, his body draped in a camel-skin garment, presents a large banner bearing the cross of the Order of Malta to the kneeling Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, who is shown in armour with a plumed helmet at his side, genuflecting in a posture of devotion. The composition is rendered in fine baroque relief with both figures occupying the full field. The circular legend PIETATE· ·VINCES· (By piety thou shalt conquer) runs along the upper periphery. A milled beaded border frames the design.

附加信息	António Manoel de Vilhena served as Grand Master from 1722 to 1736, a period during which the Order maintained its increasingly anachronistic role as a Mediterranean naval power fighting Ottoman corsairs. The zecchino — borrowed directly from the Venetian ducat tradition in name, fineness, and weight standard — was the Order's prestige gold denomination, struck to facilitate trade and diplomacy rather than everyday exchange on the island. Vilhena is better remembered for his building program in Malta than his coinage; the fortified city of Floriana and the Manoel Theatre both bear his name and survive intact.
