| Reverse description | Reverse presents a full-length frontal figure of Christ standing, nimbed with a cruciform halo, robed in a long garment, with the right hand raised in benediction and the left hand holding a book of the Gospels. The figure is surrounded by a circle of eight-pointed stars set within a beaded inner border, all enclosed by the peripheral Latin legend. The style is consistent with the Venetian ducal iconographic tradition adapted for Hospitaller coinage. The overall design conveys the religious mandate of the Order and its crusading mission. |
