Reverse description	Christ Pantocrator stands full-length, facing, in a frontal hieratic pose, his right hand raised in benediction and his left hand holding the Gospels. The figure is enclosed within a beaded mandorla surrounded by a field of six-pointed stars, evoking Byzantine iconographic conventions. The composition closely follows the reverse type of the Venetian ducat, reflecting the commercial and artistic influence of Venice on Hospitaller monetary production. The surrounding Latin legend, distributed across both sides of the mandorla, bears the dedicatory inscription invoking Christ as ruler. The beaded inner border and granular outer rim are typical of the hammered technique employed at the Rhodian mint.
