Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tari - Antoine de Paule 1623-1634 coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts the coat of arms of Grand Master Antoine de Paule, who ruled the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) from 1623 to 1634. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and topped with a crown, symbolizing the Grand Master's authority and power.
