Knights of St.. John at Rhodes (?) Gigliato 2,67 mm  ;  3,62 g  ;I need the reading of the inscription of the coin. Many thanks for your help.

I can confirm that this is a gigliato of Rhodes under the knights. However, the essence of your question is "which grand master?" Going by the shield behind the grand master's back, I think the best fit is Robert de Juilly (1374-1377). However, I can't make the legend fit.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Many thanks for your help.

I am afraid that this coin is not attributed to Robert de Juilly .
The only inscription that  I know of this grand master is

+ F-ROPBERTVS : D : GULIAC D GRAM *
+ OSPITAL'S IOhS.IRLNI.QT.RODI.
I have the coin with me and I can't read the legend and it seems diferente.

As I said, I can't make the legend fit. The grand master's name is between the F and DG. I read .ERIhL That doesn't solve anything, though. The coat of arms behind the grand master's back should be easier to identify.

EDIT:   This looks a better match for the legend, notice the U, not a V, though it is very worn and yours has MARIS
+FRE FILIbERTUS MRIS
