Malta 2 scudi Saint John the Baptist Probe Trial X#2 PR 67 PCGS silver coin 1961

The 1961 Malta 2 Scudi Saint John the Baptist silver trial coin, X#2, is a fascinating numismatic tribute to the island’s historic association with the Knights of St. John. Certified PCGS PR67, this rare Proof trial features a finely engraved frontal portrait of Saint John the Baptist, with flowing wavy hair, a long beard, and a contemplative expression. His image is enclosed within concentric circular borders, surrounded by the Latin inscription PRO NOBIS S IOAN BAPT ORA and a small eight-pointed Maltese cross. The reverse presents a dramatic four-armed, eight-pointed Maltese cross formed by sharply angled geometric elements, accompanied by the date 1961, Latin lettering, and a delicate beaded rim. Saint John the Baptist was the patron saint of the Hospitaller Order, whose legacy profoundly shaped Malta’s history. An exceptional silver trial combining religious symbolism, medieval heritage, and refined Proof craftsmanship. Add this distinctive certified rarity to your collection!
