| 背面描述 | The quartered shield of the Order of Malta, displaying the arms of the Grand Master Francisco Ximenez de Texada impaled with the cross of the Order, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend references the Order's dedication to the Holy Sepulchre, reading ·M·M·H· ET SANCTI SEPV:IERVS:* ·S· ·X·, with a fine toothed outer border completing the design. |

| 附加信息 |
Francisco Ximenes de Texada, elected Grand Master in 1773, oversaw the Order at a moment of acute institutional anxiety — the suppression of the Jesuits that same year by Clement XIV had sent shockwaves through Catholic Europe, and many within the Hospitallers feared a similar papal action against their own sovereignty over Malta. Gold coinage issued under Ximenes carried particular political weight, as the Order's right to strike independent currency was one of the few remaining markers of its quasi-sovereign status in an age when European powers were increasingly skeptical of its military relevance.
