Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Scudi - Emmanuel de Rohan 1782 coin from Malta is that it was minted during the brief period of French rule over Malta, which lasted from 1798 to 1800. The coin features an image of Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan, who was the last Grand Master of the Order of Saint John to rule over Malta before the French occupation. The coin's design and the use of gold reflect the wealth and power of the Order of Saint John during that time.
