| Obverse description | Draped bust of Grand Master Manuel Pinto de Fonseca facing left, wearing ecclesiastical robes with a prominent cross pattée on the breast. The hair falls in long curled locks to the shoulder in the late Baroque manner. The circumferential Latin legend F · EMMAN VEL PINTO encircles the effigy, separated from the milled border by a raised inner rim. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief style characteristic of mid-18th-century Maltese coinage. |
