| Reverse description | Standing full-length figure of Saint John the Baptist occupying the central field, draped in a camel-hair mantle and holding a long cross-staff in his right hand, with a lamb (Agnus Dei) at his feet to the lower left. The saint is depicted in the traditional iconographic manner associated with Hospitaller coinage of this period. A beaded inner border frames the central device, with a circular Latin legend reading around the periphery, preceded by a cross pattée. The composition reflects the devotional character of the Order, whose patron saint appears prominently on coinage throughout the Grand Mastership of Vallette. |
