Interesting fact

The 10 Grani coin from Malta, issued during the reign of Emmanuel de Rohan (1776-1786), features a unique design element - a Maltese cross on the reverse side, which is a symbol of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller), a medieval military order that played a significant role in Malta's history.
