I consulted my "Coins Minted by the Knights in Malta" by John A Gatt. It's a fantastic reference but that's beside the point. I would say yours...
IMO it certainly doesn't lower the value. I'll have to do some checking tomorrow unless someone else does it tonight. Can you make out the date on...
OK, you can stop now. :nailbiting: All really nice. One of my main collecting areas is Malta. Here is a somewhat similar countermarked piece that...
I have one that has been sitting in customs in England for 2 weeks now.
