Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Zecchini coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a monarch or other prominent figure, this coin features an image of the Maltese falcon, a symbol of the island nation's rich history and culture. The falcon is depicted in flight, with its wings spread wide, and is surrounded by intricate details and patterns that add to its beauty and significance. This design choice sets the coin apart from other coins of its time and makes it a truly distinctive piece of numismatic history.
