<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zantetsuken, post: 743167, member: 21665&quot;]Here are two coins from the islands of <b>RHODES</b> under the Order of the Knights of St. John. The first is a silver Gigliato issued under Grandmaster: Juan Fernandez de Heredia 1376-1396 AD. This was overstruck on a coin issued by the previous grandmaster Robert d&#039;Anjou. The second is silver Gigliato issued under Grandmaster: Philabert de Naillac 1396-1421 AD. The Knights of St. John were assigned to protect Rhodes, during the crusades, from the Ottoman Empire which had threatened Southeastern Europe. It&#039;s operation in Rhodes ran from 1310-1523. Later they were stationed in Malta from 1530-1798.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/RhodesARGigliato1376-1396AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>RHODES~AR Gigliato 1376-1396 AD</b></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/samuraisedge/RhodesARGigliato1396-1421AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b>RHODES~AR Gigliato 1396-1421 AD</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
