Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tari - Martin de Redin 1658 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 "S.M.O.M." which stands for "Sacro Militare Ordine di Malta" or "Sovereign Military Order of Malta."
