Coins not listed in RS 'The Coinage of the Knights in Malta' by F. Restelli and J Sammut This two volume catalogue was published in 1977. Prior to this publication the only comprehensive reference on the coins of the Knights of Malta was the 1908 catalogue 'Coins and Medals of the Knights of Malta' by Canon H. Calleja Schembri which was reprinted by Spinks & Son in 1966. RS added hundreds of coins that were not listed in the earlier catalogue by Schembri. Since the Publication of RS many new varieties have emerged. This is a list of coins I have seen that are not found in RS. If you have any coins that are not list in RS please contact me. 'The Coinage of the Knights in Malta' is a must for any collector of coins of the Knights. It can be purchased from Emmanuel Said in Malta |
