Interesting fact

The 30 Tarì coin was minted during the reign of Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan, who was the 74th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) and ruled Malta from 1775 to 1797. The coin features a portrait of de Rohan on one side and the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John on the other. It was made of silver and weighed 29.4 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
