The 15 Tarì coin from Malta, minted between 1757 and 1759, features an interesting design on its reverse side. It depicts a shield with the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, who ruled Malta at the time. The shield is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, adding to its ornate appearance. This design element serves as a nod to the rich history and cultural heritage of Malta, which has been shaped by various influences throughout the centuries.
