| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar legal position — a sovereign entity without territory, issuing currency that functions purely as a collector instrument with no circulation economy behind it. Fra' Matthew Festing, Grand Master from 2008 until his forced resignation under Vatican pressure in 2017, lent his name to this issue during a period when the Order was actively expanding its numismatic program as a fundraising mechanism.
