MARIO D'ALUIGI ("MARIUS"). Jean Parisot de la Vallette

Jean Parisot de la Vallette. Artist: Mario d'Aluigi ("Marius") (Turin, (died 1612)). Dimensions: Diam. 5.9 cm, wt. 103.48 g.. Date: ca. 1566.
The obverse bears a portrait of Jean Parisot de la Vallette (1494 - 1568), Grand Master of the Order of Saint John at Malta (1557 - 68). On the reverse is a fleet of galleys attacking an elephant with a female rider, and a fortified town, possibly La Valletta, in the background. Jean de la Vallette was the founder of the Maltese capital of La Valletta, which was named after him. The medal commemorates the building of the fortified city as an important stronghold against the Turks. The elephant either represents Africa, welcoming the knights of Saint John, or the Turkish invasion from the sea.
