Reversbeschreibung 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.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Peter of Aubusson became Grand Master in 1476 and almost immediately faced the Ottoman siege of Rhodes that same year — a sustained assault repelled largely through his personal direction of the city's defenses. The papacy awarded him a cardinal's hat in 1489, an extraordinary honor for a military commander, and one that reflected just how critical the Hospitallers' position was to European resistance against Ottoman expansion in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Order's ducats were struck to match the weight standard of the Venetian ducat precisely, a deliberate choice that kept Hospitaller gold acceptable in trade circuits from Genoa to Alexandria. Fr#6 is among the more accessible of the Hospitaller gold issues by Grand Master.
