Interesting fact
The 1 Scudo coin was minted during the reign of Grand Master Francisco Ximenez de Texada, who was the 64th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) from 1773 to 1774. The Order of Saint John was a military and religious order that had a significant presence in Malta during the 16th to 18th centuries. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Grand Master Ximenez de Texada on one side and the symbol of the Order of Saint John on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Malta and the Knights Hospitaller.
