Comment
Restelli/Sammut 135Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tarì coin from Malta is that it was minted during the reign of Grand Master Manuel Pinto de Fonseca, who was the 65th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) and ruled Malta from 1741 to 1773. The coin features an image of the Grand Master on one side and the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in Malta during that time period and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
