Comment
Illustrated coin on this page is the Restelli# 117 itself.Interesting fact
The Tari coin was minted during the reign of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, who was the 64th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) and ruled Malta from 1722 to 1736. During his tenure, he implemented various reforms and projects, including the construction of new buildings, roads, and fortifications. The Tari coin was likely used as a means of payment for the workers and laborers who were involved in these projects.
