Interesting fact

The 1 Grano coin was the first coin to feature a portrait of a Maltese Grand Master, Emmanuel de Rohan, who ruled the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) from 1775 to 1797. This coin was minted during his reign and features his portrait on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Maltese history, and its unique design makes it a fascinating collector's item.
