Interesting fact
The 5 Grani coin was minted during the reign of Grand Master Emmanuel de Rohan, who was the 74th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) and ruled Malta from 1776 to 1790. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which featured the Grand Master's name and portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John on the other. The 5 Grani coin was made of copper and weighed 3.3 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in Maltese coins.
