Brief Historical Notes about Maltese Coins

Maltese Coins
From 1530 to 1798, Malta was the base of The Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller, Malta being under the rule of the Knights, who assumed responsibility for issuing coinage for Malta.

Description of 30 Tari
There were 12 Tari to the Scudo, so our coin was also a 2¹/₂ Scudi. There were also 20 Grani (grains) to the Tari.
Strangely enough this made 240 Grains to the Scudo, just as there were 240 Pennies to the Pound Sterling.
