Vilhena enlarged the gold and silver denomination range. The same ruler issued large precious-metal multiples and small copper change, so his name alone does not identify a denomination.

Dating and classification

The date interval is the ruler’s Malta magistracy, not a complete list of minting years. Specimen dates are evidence for examples only.
