Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tari coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or national symbol, the coin features a depiction of the Maltese falcon, a bird that is native to the island nation. This design choice was made to highlight Malta's rich history and culture, and to differentiate the coin from others in circulation.
