Interesting fact
The 4 Tari coin from Malta, featuring Juan de Homedes, was minted in 1552 and made of silver. It's interesting to note that the coin's design has a unique feature - it includes a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted during the reign of Grand Master Juan de Homedes. This small cross is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
