The patakka was a small gold coin circulating in Malta primarily during the period of the Knights of St. John, and this modern issue deliberately revives that name for a bullion-adjacent collector piece. Malta's post-euro commemorative program has leaned heavily on the island's numismatic history, and the patakka reference places this squarely in that tradition — a nod to the Knights' own gold coinage rather than anything in the British colonial or Maltese lira period.
