Reverse description Central device comprising the quartered heraldic shield of the Order of St. John impaled with the personal arms of Lascaris Castellar, surmounted by a crown with fleur-de-lis finials. The upper quarters display the cross of the Order on a plain field, while the lower quarters bear the Lascaris eagle displayed. A granular border frames the entire design. The surrounding Latin legend IN HOSTES ET ERGA HOSPITES — meaning 'Against enemies and towards guests' — is distributed across the upper and lower portions of the coin's periphery, serving as the Grand Master's personal motto.
