| 正面描述 | Central field occupied by the quartered armorial shield of Grand Master Jean de Vallette, displaying the arms of the Order of St. John — a plain white cross on red — impaled with the personal arms of the Vallette family, featuring a rampant lion in the upper dexter quarter. The shield is rendered in high relief in the hammered style characteristic of mid-16th-century Hospitaller coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, interrupted by a cross pattée at the beginning of the inscription. The overall composition is bold and heraldic, consistent with the dignified authority of the Grand Mastership. |

Jean de Vallette served as Grand Master from 1557 until his death in 1568, a tenure defined almost entirely by the Great Siege of 1565, when Ottoman forces under Suleiman the Magnificent besieged Malta for over four months. The Order's finances were under extreme strain before, during, and after the siege — emergency coinage and irregular minting schedules were a practical necessity, not an administrative choice.
The 4 Tari was the Order's principal silver denomination, and examples from Vallette's rule are among the most historically loaded issues in the entire Hospitaller series. Die workmanship during this period was inconsistent, a direct consequence of the disruptions of 1565.
