Interesting fact
The 1 Carlino coin from Malta, issued during the reign of Grand Master Giovani Paolo Lascaris Castellar (1636-1657), features an interesting design element - a unique blend of Christian and Islamic motifs. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while on the other, it features an Arabic inscription reading "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This fusion of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of Malta during the time period and highlights the island's rich history and heritage.
