| Additional information |
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta occupies a peculiar position in numismatics — a non-territorial sovereign entity with no permanent civilian population, yet recognized by over a hundred states and maintaining its own mint program. The 9 tarì denomination revives a unit last seriously circulated during the Order's rule over Malta, which ended when Napoleon seized the island in 1798 without significant resistance, a capitulation that still generates historical debate.
X#114 places this squarely in the modern collector issues catalogued outside mainstream national series — struck for institutional prestige rather than circulation.
