| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered coat of arms of Jean de Vallette, Grand Master of the Order of St. John, combining the eight-pointed cross of the Hospitallers with the Grand Master's personal heraldic charges, including a rampant lion and an angel. The shield is set within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in Gothic and Roman lettering, reads ☩ F · IOANNES DE VALLETE · M · HOS · H, identifying Fra' Jean de Vallette as Master of the Hospitallers of Jerusalem. The outer border is formed by a rope or cable pattern typical of Maltese hammered coinage of the sixteenth century. The die-work displays the characteristic irregularity of hand-struck production. |
