Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cinquina coin from Malta is that it was minted during the reign of Grand Master Pietro del Monte, who was a member of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller). The Order of Saint John was a religious and military order that had a significant presence in Malta during the 16th century. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John, which includes a cross and a shield with the symbol of the Order. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that highlights the rich cultural and religious heritage of Malta during the 16th century.
