Interesting fact
The 1 Taro coin from Malta, featuring Emmanuel de Rohan, is a rare and valuable coin due to its age and limited mintage. It is made of silver and weighs 0.9 grams. Interestingly, the coin was minted in 1777, during the brief period of French rule in Malta, which lasted from 1775 to 1783. This coin is a tangible piece of history that connects us to the past and serves as a reminder of the complex history of Malta during that time.
