Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Tarì - Emmanuel de Rohan 1776-1780 coin from Malta is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other national symbols, this coin bears an image of a dolphin, which was a symbol of good luck and prosperity in ancient times. This design choice was likely made to commemorate Malta's rich maritime history and its importance as a trading hub in the Mediterranean.
