Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Liri (Kenur; Specimen) 1972 from Malta made of Copper is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Malta. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins designed by the Maltese artist, Vincent Apap, in the early 1970s. The design features a stylized representation of the Maltese cross, which is a symbol of the country's history and culture. The coin's design was not well received by the Maltese government, and it was ultimately not adopted as the official currency. As a result, the Pattern 10 Liri (Kenur; Specimen) 1972 from Malta made of Copper is a rare and collectible coin that is highly sought after by numismatists.
