Interesting fact
The 2 Tari coin from Malta, minted during the reign of Juan de Homedes (1536-1553), was made of silver and weighed 5.7 grams. Despite its small size, this coin was an important part of the Maltese currency system during the time, and its design featured the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John, which was a prominent religious and military order in Malta during the 16th century.
