Comment
Illustrated coin on this page is the Restelli# 12 itself.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tari coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, which shows a shield with the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used during the reign of Grand Master Hugues Loubenx de Verdala, who ruled the Order from 1588 to 1595. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
