| Additional information |
Juan Bautista Azopardo was born in Malta in 1772 but built his career in the service of the Argentine revolutionary cause, eventually commanding naval forces under the Río de la Plata patriot government. His defeat at the Battle of San Nicolás in 1811 — outnumbered and outgunned by a Spanish royalist fleet — ended with him imprisoned in Montevideo for years. Malta has periodically issued collector silver honoring figures of the Maltese diaspora who achieved prominence abroad, and Azopardo's story, stretching from the Mediterranean to the South Atlantic, makes him one of the more genuinely obscure subjects in that series.
