Ferdinand von Hompesch · 30 tarì

1798 · Order of St John

Ferdinand von Hompesch issued this silver 30 tarì during the Order’s rule in Malta. This record groups the denomination and metal under the issuing Grand Master. It does not combine copper tokens with silver coins of the same face value. The linked private collection documents specimens and catalogue references. Specimen measurements vary and are not treated here as an official manufacturing standard. Compare the pellet near the portrait with occupation-period restrikes; attributing a particular specimen requires care.
