| 表面の説明 | Draped bust of Grand Master Francisco Ximenez de Texada facing right, wearing period robes with ornate collar detail and a full curled wig rendered in fine relief. The bust occupies the central field, conveying a formal, dignified portrait style characteristic of 18th-century Mediterranean coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading F · D · FRAN : XIMENEZ DE TEXADA, identifying the Grand Master by name. The date 1774 appears in the lower portion of the field, beneath the bust. The coin's edge is bordered by a tight beaded or toothed rim. |

Francisco Ximenes de Texada served as Grand Master of the Order of St. John from 1773 until his death in 1775 — a tenure of barely two years, which makes his coinage among the scarcest in the Maltese series. The Order's mint at Valletta struck gold in relatively small quantities under any Grand Master, but Ximenes issues are consistently underrepresented in collections relative to his longer-reigning predecessors like Pinto de Fonseca.
The .840 fineness was a deliberate step below the traditional standard, reflecting ongoing fiscal pressure on the Order in the decades before Napoleon's bloodless seizure of Malta in 1798 ended Hospitaller coinage entirely.
