Gregorio Carafa della Roccella served as Grand Master from 1680 to 1690, and his coinage reflects the Order's sustained minting ambition during a decade when Hospitaller naval forces were still actively engaging Ottoman shipping in the eastern Mediterranean. The 4 Tari denomination was a workhouse unit of the Maltese monetary system, circulating alongside Spanish and Sicilian silver in a market that routinely absorbed foreign coin.
KM#113 is known with minor die variations across the emission period — not unusual given the hand-cut dies typical of the Valletta mint at this scale of production.
