| Reverse description | Christ nimbate, depicted in a full-length mandorla glory, is shown in a frontal, hieratic pose with arms outstretched or in a gesture of blessing. The mandorla is flanked by a total of nine stars arranged asymmetrically — five to the left and four to the right — filling the field in the manner typical of Hospitaller gold coinage. The surrounding Latin legend, rendered in Gothic lettering with ornamental stops, forms a devotional dedicatory inscription. The overall design follows the Venetian zecchino tradition adapted for the Order's ecclesiastical coinage. |
