| Reverse description | Christ nimbate, depicted in a frontal standing pose within an almond-shaped mandorla, rendered in a hieratic Byzantine style consistent with the Hospitaller zecchino tradition derived from the Venetian ducat prototype. Ten five-pointed stars, five on each side, flank the mandorla symmetrically within the field, serving as devotional symbols. The reverse legend, running along the beaded outer border, is a Latin votive inscription. The overall design follows closely the Venetian zecchino iconographic tradition, adapted to the religious symbolism of the Order of St. John. |
