<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pawjtr, post: 36804, member: 1815&quot;]I am going to try to reply to both in the same post. Roy, I would like to learn about both the order of knights of malta and the republic, but my direct purpose was to learn about the British stewardship of the island. Aidan, I am specifically looking for the Reasoning behind the minting of the 1/3 farthing piece. i know that it was designed to replace an already existing local denomination, but I do not know why so few were minted (avg 288,000) compared to roughly the same number of people (the current census has it at 366,000) I would also like to know who decided that Britain should make a coin specifically for the use of such a small country and what is was used for locally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
