Interesting fact
The 1 Grano coin from Malta, issued during the reign of Emmanuel de Rohan in 1785-1786, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was not commonly used for coinage at that time. Most coins from this period were made of precious metals like gold or silver, so the use of copper for this coin was a notable departure from the norm. This fact highlights the resourcefulness and innovation of the Maltese mint during this time period.
