Interesting fact
The 1 Carlino coin was minted during the reign of Grand Master Jean de Vallette, who was a prominent figure in the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller). The coin features an image of de Vallette on one side and the coat of arms of the Order on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency during the time of the Knights Hospitaller in Malta, and it remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
