| Aanvullende informatie |
Emery of Amboise served as Grand Master of the Hospitallers from 1503 until his death in 1512, ruling from Rhodes at a moment when Ottoman pressure on the island was intensifying following Mehmed II's failed siege of 1480. The order's continued gold coinage during this period was partly a political statement of permanence — Rhodes remained the last major Christian stronghold in the eastern Aegean.
Fr#7 is among the rarer Hospitaller gold issues by surviving population. The Rhodes mint operated under tight supply constraints, dependent on trade revenues and donations from European commanderies.
