| Obverse description | Quartered shield bearing the arms of Grand Master Juan de Homedes impaled with the arms of the Order of St. John (the white eight-pointed cross on black field), the escutcheon divided by a bold cross forming four quarters. The shield is set within a beaded border, with the circular legend distributed around the periphery of the coin. The die-work is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Maltese hammered coinage, with an irregular flan and slightly uneven strike. |
