| Additional information |
Roger of Pins served as Grand Master of the Hospitallers during a period when Rhodes functioned less as a religious headquarters than as an aggressive naval base — the Order was actively raiding Ottoman and Egyptian shipping throughout his tenure. The gigliato design itself was borrowed from the Angevin coinage of Naples, adopted by the Hospitallers as a deliberate signal of legitimacy and commercial interoperability across the eastern Mediterranean trade networks.
Metcalf's classification places this among the scarcer Grand Master issues of the Rhodian series, with Roger's decade-long mastership producing fewer documented die combinations than either his predecessor or successor.
