Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Journal of Numismatics, Vol. 18: And Bulletin of American Numismatic and Archæological Societiese; Quaterly The successor of De Vignacourt was Grand Master Perellos, elected February, 1697. He was of Arragon, and at the period of his election Bailiff of Negropont. The coin we illustrate is gold. Upon the obverse appears the Grand Master´s shield charged with the indispensable cross in theist and 4th quarterings. In the 2d and 3d are pears, the family badge, a punning allusion to the name, which means "little pears." The shield is surmounted by a crown. Upon the reverse is a device much resembling those upon our specimens Nos. Ill, V, and XVI, but with some differences. The Grand Master wears a sword and kneels upon one knee only, holding the staff by one hand. The banner is charged with the cross of the Order. The figure of Saint John is haloed, and he holds up his right hand as in the attitude of exhortation. The legend of the obverse is F. Raymvndvs Perellos MM H. Et s. s. Hie for Frater Raymundus Perellos, Magisler Magnus Hospitalis et Sepulchri Sancti Hierosolymae, [Brother Raymond Perellos, Grand Master of the Order of the Hospital, and of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem,] and on the reverse Pietate Vinces-1699, signifying "Conquer by piety, (or rather by devotion)1699." This is the first instance in which a reference to the Holy Sepulchre is seen upon these pieces. Plate V.Figure i. Not so much was done in battles on the land during the twenty-three years administration of Grand Master Perellos, as had been accomplished by some of his predecessors, but the galleys of the Order nobly maintained its glory on the sea; his chief Admiral, Spinola, while engaged in combat with a Turkish man-of-war, went down with five hundred soldiers and sailors, and the St. John, another of his vessels, repeatedly put to flight the armies and vessels of the aliens.
