| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Grand Master Jean de la Cassière — the lion passant of his personal arms impaled with the eight-pointed cross of the Order of St. John — set within a beaded inner circle. The heraldic composition is rendered in the bold, slightly rough style characteristic of Maltese hammered coinage of the sixteenth century. A circular Latin legend runs between the inner and outer beaded borders, naming the Grand Master and his office. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John de la Valette's successor as Grand Master, La Cassière presided over a fractious tenure marked by internal revolt — in 1581, the Knights themselves imprisoned him and dispatched a delegation to Rome to argue for his removal. Gregory XIII ultimately ordered his reinstatement, but La Cassière died before returning to Malta. The coinage of his reign reflects none of this turbulence administratively; the Order's mint on Malta continued operating with reasonable consistency throughout the dispute.
The 4 Tari denomination in silver was the workhorse of Hospitaller coinage in this period, circulating across the central Mediterranean in trade with both Christian and Ottoman-controlled ports.
