Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gigliato - Anthony Fluvian ND (1421-1437) coin from the Order of the Knights of Rhodes (Frankish Greece) is that it features an image of a knight on horseback on one side, and a cross on the other. This design reflects the military and religious nature of the Order of the Knights of Rhodes, a medieval military order that was established in the 14th century to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight also make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
