| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) standing to the left, with a cross-staff and banner, set within a rounded cartouche or shield-like frame, all in high relief. The lamb is rendered in a stylized, medieval manner typical of Hospitaller coinage of this period. The date 1553 is incorporated into the surrounding Latin legend, which reads around the entire periphery within a beaded border. The reverse legend references the Biblical passage from the Gospel of John, identifying Christ as the one who takes away the sins of the world. The composition is devout and symbolic, reflecting the religious character of the Order. |
