4 Zecchini - Marc'Antonio Zondadari

Zondadari served as Grand Master for only four years, 1720–1722, dying in office before his tenure could produce much beyond this and a handful of smaller denominations. The 4 Zecchini was the Order's highest-denomination gold issue, struck in the Valletta mint in extremely limited numbers — Grand Mastership deaths typically halted production mid-cycle, leaving some issues with very small surviving populations.

The .986 fineness places this fractionally above the Venetian zecchino standard the Order deliberately mirrored, a calculation meant to keep Hospitaller gold credible in eastern Mediterranean trade networks where bullion reputation was tested constantly.
