| Reverse description | Central field depicts the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) passant, facing left, with a cross-staff banner resting over its shoulder — a devotional emblem emblematic of the Order's religious mission. The lamb stands on a plain ground line within a beaded inner circle. Above the lamb, a small patriarchal cross of the Order is visible. The surrounding Latin legend, reading clockwise within the outer border, references the sacrificial nature of Christ as the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, consistent with Hospitaller iconographic tradition. |
