Reverse description The reverse features a large, richly colored illuminated initial 'O' reproduced from the L'Isle Adam Graduals of 1533, an important Maltese manuscript of the Knights of St. John. The letter is depicted as a decorated historiated initial filled with intricate floral and foliate scroll work in vivid blue, red, and green enamels against a gilt ground, set within a square frame with colored corner ornaments. The legend 'L'ISLE ADAM GRADUALS · 1533' arcs along the upper portion of the field, while the denomination '50 EURO' is inscribed along the lower rim. The overall composition celebrates Malta's Gothic illuminated manuscript heritage with striking polychrome detail.
