| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Grand Master Giovanni Paolo Lascaris Castellar facing right, rendered in high relief in the baroque style, with naturalistic facial features typical of mid-17th century Hospitaller coinage. The portrait occupies the central field with strong sculptural presence. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading from the bottom left and continuing around the periphery of the flan, identifying the Grand Master by name and title. The coin exhibits the characteristic granular edge border of hammered gold issues of the period. |
