Additional information

Antoine de Paule served as Grand Master from 1623 to 1636, and his coinage reflects the Order's continued grip on Mediterranean silver commerce despite mounting Ottoman pressure on what remained of their Maltese stronghold. The 4 Tari was the Order's principal workhorse denomination in silver, circulating widely across Sicilian and North African trade networks rather than staying confined to the island.

KM#48 is known with minor die variations across the eleven-year production run.
