Interesting fact
The Tari - Jean de Vallette 1566 coin from Malta features a unique design element - a Maltese cross, which is a symbol of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller), a medieval military order that ruled Malta from 1530 to 1798. The Maltese cross is still a prominent symbol in Malta today, and it's featured on various national symbols, including the country's flag.
