Investopedia explains 'MTL (Maltese Lira)'
Malta gained its independence from England in 1964, but until 1972 the British pound continued to circulate. In 1971, when the United Kingdom decimalized, Malta did not follow suit, and instead created its own decimal system based on the lira. From 1973 until 1986 both the pound and lira circulated, after which the lira circulated exclusively.
