| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar position in numismatics — a non-territorial sovereign entity issuing coins with no practical circulation. These pieces were struck primarily for collectors and to assert juridical sovereignty, which the Order had maintained in international law since losing physical control of Malta to Napoleon in 1798. The 1962–63 gold issues were among the earliest modern coinages produced under Grand Master Angelo de Mojana di Cologna, who took office in 1962.
Fr#4 is a scarce entry in Friedberg's gold census, with mintages kept deliberately low.
