Interesting fact
The 5 Grani - Ramon Despuig 1739 coin from Malta made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Grand Master Ramon Despuig, who was the 64th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) and ruled Malta from 1736 to 1741. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the Grand Master on one side and the coat of arms of the Order of Saint John on the other. The coin was used as a means of payment on the island of Malta and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
