| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar position in numismatics: a non-territorial sovereign entity that issues currency with no circulating economy behind it whatsoever. These gold Scudi series pieces from the 1990s were struck for collector sale, generating revenue for the Order's humanitarian operations — a funding mechanism that sits somewhere between commemorative coinage and institutional fundraising.
Andrew Bertie, a British-born Prince and Bailliff Grand Cross, served as 78th Grand Master from 1988 until his death in 2008 — the first Englishman to hold the position in centuries.
