Comment
The date on the 1622 coin is written 16ZZ.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tari coin from Malta is that it was minted during the reign of Alof de Wignacourt, who was the Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) from 1609 to 1622. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin that was minted during this time period, and it is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
