Comment
Minted at Fort St. Angelo (Birgu)Interesting fact
The Tari coin was minted during the reign of Grand Master Juan de Homedes y Coscon, who was the 47th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (also known as the Knights Hospitaller) from 1536 to 1553. The Order of Saint John was a military and religious order that had a significant presence in Malta during this time period. The coin's design likely reflects the symbolism and imagery associated with the Order and its values.
