The association of the eight-pointed cross with the southern Italy coastal town of <a href="/wiki/Amalfi" title="Amalfi">Amalfi</a> may go back to the 11th century, as the design is allegedly found on coins minted by the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Amalfi" title="Duchy of Amalfi">Duchy of Amalfi</a> at that time.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Eight-pointed crosses appear on coins minted by the Grand Masters of the order, first shown as a bolsini-type cross embroidered on the left arm of the robe of the kneeling Grand Master on the obverse of a coin minted under <a href="/wiki/Foulques_de_Villaret" title="Foulques de Villaret">Foulques de Villaret</a> (r. 1305–1319)<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1489, the statutes of the order require all knights of Malta to wear "the white cross with eight points".<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Emergence of the sharp vertex of the modern "four-arrowhead" design is gradual, and takes place during the 15th to 16th century. The "Rhodian cross" of the early 16th century had almost, but not quite, achieved the "sharp arrowhead appearance". The fully modern design is found on a copper coin dated 1567, minted by Grand Master <a href="/wiki/Jean_Parisot_de_Valette" title="Jean Parisot de Valette">Jean Parisot de Valette</a> (r. 1557–1568).<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1577, <a href="/wiki/Alonso_Sanchez_Coello" class="mw-redirect" title="Alonso Sanchez Coello">Alonso Sanchez Coello</a> painted <a href="/wiki/Archduke_Wenceslaus_of_Austria" title="Archduke Wenceslaus of Austria">Archduke Wenceslaus of Austria</a> as Grand Prior of the Order of Malta wearing the emblem on his robes. </p><p>The design appears again on coins minted in the late 17th to 18th centuries.
