Comment
Illustrated coin on this page is the Restelli# 10 itself.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tari coin from Malta made of Silver is that it was issued during the reign of Grand Master Pietro del Monte in the 16th century. The coin 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 denomination and the year of issue. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a significant departure from the previous copper coins issued by the Order, and it marked a turning point in the history of Maltese coinage.
