Over the past 3 years I've been working on cataloguing the 30 Tari coins. I'm trying to list each die variety. I'm going through hundreds of scans of these coins I've collected over the past few years. Click on the 30 Tari coin below to go to these pages, but please remember this is still 'work in progress' and any information, suggestions or new varieties you have are most welcome

Coin of the week

1756 15 Tari with an unrecorded reverse.

The coinage of the Knights in Malta by Restelli and Sammut only records one variety of the 15 Tari dated 1756, with seven sub varieties, until this coin I had found a variety without a dot before the first M.

This coin has a completely different reverse. The Baptist left hand is pointing down and the Banner which is held in the right hand is different and hangs from a cross. This type of reverse is seen on 15 Tari coins dated 1759 and 1761.

The other possibility is that this coin is a 1759 with the '9' upside down. Two of the 1759 coins I have in my collection have the same reverse die as this coin.
