Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Tari coin from Malta made of Silver weighing 5.35g is that it was minted during the reign of Grand Master Pietro del Monte (1568-1572) and features a unique design, with the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John on one side and the image of a galley on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the Order's strong naval presence and its role in protecting the Mediterranean Sea.
