Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tari coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a monarch or other prominent figure, the coin features a representation of the Maltese Islands, with the three main islands of Malta, Gozo, and Comino depicted in a stylized manner. This design was chosen to reflect the coin's denomination, which was equivalent to three tarì, a local unit of currency used in Malta at the time. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical and cultural significance.
