Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Tari coin from Malta made of Silver weighing 5.56g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John, while the reverse side features the image of a cross and four pelicans, which symbolize the four evangelists.
