Comment
Illustrated coin on this page is the Restelli# 18 itself.Interesting fact
The 6 Tari - Ramon Despuig 1739 coin from Malta is interesting because it features a unique design, with an image of the Maltese cross on one side and the coat of arms of Grand Master Ramon Despuig on the other. The Maltese cross is a symbol of the Order of Saint John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, who ruled Malta from 1530 to 1798. The coat of arms of Grand Master Despuig includes a shield with the Despuig family's emblem, which features a pair of dolphins and a tower. This coin was minted during Despuig's reign as Grand Master, which lasted from 1736 to 1741.
