| Reverse description | Central field depicts a lion passant to the left, rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of Maltese hammered copper coinage of the period. The date 1619 is prominently struck above the lion within the circular legend. A five-pointed star and ornamental stops punctuate the surrounding Latin motto legend. The reverse composition is simple but striking, with the lion occupying most of the available field within the encircling inscription. |
