Comment
Illustrated coin on this page is the Restelli# 2 itself.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tari coin from Malta made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Grand Master Pietro del Monte, who was the 47th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) from 1568 to 1572. The coin features an image of the Grand Master on one side and the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in Malta during that time period and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
