| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing bust of St. John the Baptist, depicted with flowing hair and beard rendered in bold relief, contained within a plain inner circle or lined border that separates the central device from the surrounding legend. The saint's head is presented frontally in a naturalistic style consistent with mid-sixteenth-century Maltese die-cutting. The circumferential Latin legend reads from the upper left and encircles the entire border of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jean de Vallette served as Grand Master from 1557 until his death in 1568, a tenure defined almost entirely by the Great Siege of 1565, in which an Ottoman force estimated at 30,000–40,000 men failed to dislodge roughly 500 Knights and several thousand Maltese soldiers and militia. The siege's failure had immediate monetary consequences: fresh funds and prestige flooded the Order, enabling the founding of Valletta the following year — the city that bears his name to this day.
The 4 Tari was the Order's principal silver denomination, sized to integrate with the broader Sicilian monetary system under which Malta then operated.
