Interesting fact
The 1 Carlino coin from Malta, which was minted during the reign of Ramon Perellos y Roccaful (1697-1720), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, the coin bears an image of a dolphin, which was a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Maltese culture. This unique design choice makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
