The currency of Malta
under the Knights of St. John was principally denominated in
Scudi, Tarì and Grani.
20 grani = 1 tarì
12 tarì = 1 scudo
Towards the end of the rule of the Order, the silver coins
in general circulation had face values of 1 tarì, 2 tarì,
4 tarì, 6 tarì, 1 scudo, 15 tarì, 2 scudi & 30 tarì.
Most of these were minted by the last five Grand Masters:
