| Additional information |
Philibert of Naillac served as Grand Master during one of the Order's most precarious stretches — his tenure began just months after the catastrophic defeat at Nicopolis in 1396, where a Crusader coalition was routed by Ottoman forces under Bayezid I. Rhodes, the Hospitaller base since 1309, suddenly felt far less secure. The gigliato type itself was a Neapolitan inheritance, adopted by the Order in the 14th century and maintained with remarkable consistency across successive Grand Masters as a trusted trade coin in Levantine commerce.
Naillac's issues are distinguished within the series primarily by die variation documented by Metcalf and Schlumberger.
