| Reverse description | A bold floriated cross pattée occupies the central field, its four arms elaborately decorated with foliage and lily-like terminals in the Angevin gigliato tradition. At each extremity of the cross appears a small shield bearing the eight-pointed cross of the Order of Saint John, serving as the heraldic emblem of the Hospitallers. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend rendered in Gothic uncial characters running between the inner and outer borders. |
