| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Grand Master Antoine Fluvian is depicted kneeling to the left before a tall patriarchal cross, rendered in the Gothic style typical of Hospitaller gigliati. A coat of arms appears to the right of the figure, with the letter G positioned in the lower field. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular legend running between the inner and outer borders. The scene conveys a devotional posture characteristic of medieval ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prominent floriated cross occupies the center of the field, with elaborate foliate and lily-form terminals at each of the four arms, a design distinctive of the gigliato denomination. Small crosslets appear at the tips of each arm, serving as the heraldic arms of the Order of St. John. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular legend distributed evenly between the inner and outer borders. The relief is bold and well-struck, consistent with the fine silver coinage produced under the Rhodian Hospitallers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anthony Fluvian de la Rívière served as Grand Master of the Hospitallers during a period of acute pressure on Rhodes — Ottoman naval power was consolidating across the Aegean, and the Order's finances depended heavily on the silver gigliato as a trusted trade currency across Levantine markets. The type had been circulating in the eastern Mediterranean since the Angevin issues of Naples nearly a century earlier, and the Hospitallers inherited both the fabric and the commercial credibility of that coinage.
Schlumberger's reference for this type remains the foundational attribution, though die studies since have suggested greater variety among Fluvian's issues than early catalogers recognized.
