Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tari - Annet de Clermont-Gessan 1660 coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a shield with the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John, which was a medieval military order that ruled Malta at the time. The shield is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and above it, there is an inscription in Latin that reads "Sit Nomen Domini Benedictum" which means "Blessed be the name of the Lord." This design was used on many coins issued by the Order of Saint John during their rule over Malta, and it symbolizes the order's strong religious and military presence on the island.
