Definizione

• In Malta this appears as a silver coin early in the sixteenth century, with the value of a fifth of a Ducato (q.v.). A copper issue occurs under Giovanni de la Vallette (1557-1568). Both series had various multiples, some of them as high as thirty.

  In Naples and Sicily the same values were retained up to 1818, when the Sicilian Taro was equivalent to half of the Neapolitan one.
