<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1092182, member: 39&quot;]As for Malta, I am not quite happy yet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Malta never issued &quot;liras&quot; denominated coins; however, there are various orders (and pseudo-orders) that also have &quot;Malta&quot; in their names. The SMOM <u><a href="http://www.orderofmalta.org/?lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.orderofmalta.org/?lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.orderofmalta.org/?lang=en</a></u> issues coins (as fundraisers) denominated in scudi and tari, so that can&#039;t be it.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also an organization called Sovrano Ospedaliero Ordine di Malta, and they actually issue lots of pieces in &quot;liras&quot;. Here is one featuring John F. Kennedy - not gold but 500 liras (2004):</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=270594824951" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=270594824951" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=270594824951</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess this &quot;Sovrano Ospedaliero Ordine ...&quot; also issued the 2001 piece you mentioned. This is not the same organization as the SMOM in Rome, however. Cannot tell whether they are legitimate or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
