Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carlino - Antoine de Paule ND (1623-1636) coin from Malta is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) on the reverse side. This shield is a nod to the rich history of the Order, which was a major military and political force in the region during the medieval period. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the significant role that the Order played in the history of Malta and the surrounding region.
