| Aanvullende informatie |
Alof de Wignacourt served as Grand Master of the Order from 1601 until his death in 1622, a tenure notable for significant naval activity against Ottoman and North African shipping. The Order's copper coinage of this period was minted on Malta and functioned within a closed monetary system — currency that rarely left the island and circulated almost exclusively among the local Maltese population and the Order's own garrison rather than in broader Mediterranean trade.
The 10 Grani denomination sat at the lower end of the copper series, the kind of coin that passed through market stalls in Valletta rather than through the hands of knights.
