Comment
Illustrated coin on this page is the Restelli# 44 itself.Interesting fact
The 2 Tari coin from Malta, featuring Hugues Loubenx de Verdala, was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Grand Master Hugues Loubenx de Verdala (1582-1595) to address a shortage of small denomination coins in circulation. This coin, made of copper, was one of the lowest denominations issued during this time and was likely used for everyday transactions. Despite its small value, the coin is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of euros at auction.
