<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 196240, member: 1824&quot;]Christian,the word &#039;Lira&#039; is actually a loanword from the Italian language that has been transplanted into the Maltese language.The Maltese currency itself is more commonly known as the Maltese Pound,as the traditional Pound sign is still commonly used.The same thing applies in Cyprus,where the Pound is also known as the Lira (in both the Greek Cypriot &amp; Turkish Cypriot languages),&amp; the traditional Pound sign is used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those Order of St. John of Malta medal-coins denominated in Lira (wrongly pluralised as &#039;Liras&#039;) are listed in Krause&#039;s &#039;Unusual World Coins&#039;,as are the modern S.M.O.M. medal-coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
