Everything about Maltese Scudo totally explained
The
scudo (plural
scudi) was the currency of
Malta during the rule of the
Order of Malta. It was subdivided into 12
tari (singular

grani with 6
piccioli to the grano.
History
The scudo was issued until 1798 but circulated until replaced by the
British pound in 1825 at a rate of 1 pound = 12 scudi. The Order (now based in
Rome) has issued souvenir coins denominated in grani, tari and scudi since 1961.

The 1, 2½, 5 and 10 grani and 1 taro were minted in copper, with the 2½ grani denominated as 15 piccioli. The 2, 4 and 6 tari, 1, 1¼, 1⅓, 2 and 2½ scudi were silver coins, with the 1¼, 1⅓ and 2½ scudi denominated as 15, 16 and 30 tari. The 5, 10, 20 scudi coins were gold.
