Obverse description Armored bust of Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan in right profile, rendered in high relief, wearing a finely detailed suit of armor with a prominent gorget and pauldrons; the eight-pointed cross of the Order of St. John is visible on the chest. The effigy is boldly modeled in the late Baroque manner, with the Grand Master depicted in a commanding, naturalistic portrait style. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by star-shaped ornaments, identifying the sitter by his religious title and office.
