| Aanvullende informatie |
Ramon Despuig served as Grand Master for barely four years, dying in office in 1741, which kept his coinage issues limited in both variety and volume. The 4 Tari denomination was the workhorse silver of Hospitaller Malta, used in everyday commerce on the island as well as in the Order's extensive Mediterranean trading and provisioning networks.
The tari itself was a unit inherited from Arab Sicily — the word derives from the Arabic ṭarī — and the Order continued striking it for centuries after taking Malta in 1530, long after the denomination had disappeared elsewhere.
