Reverse Design: The Legendary Maltese Cross

The reverse side of the 2025 1/10 oz Gold Maltese Cross Coin features a striking depiction of the Maltese Cross, an eight-pointed emblem formed by four V-shaped arms that converge at a central point. This cross is far more than a visual icon — it embodies the eight core aspirations of the Knights of Malta:

1. To live in truth
2. To have faith
3. To repent one’s sins
4. To give proof of humility
5. To love justice
6. To be merciful
7. To be sincere and wholehearted
8. To endure persecution

Originating with the Knights Hospitaller during the Crusades, the Maltese Cross became inextricably linked to Malta in the 16th century when the island was granted to the order by Charles V of Spain. For over 250 years, the Knights ruled Malta, using the cross as their symbol on armor, flags, fortresses, and coinage. This rich heritage lives on in today’s Maltese Cross coins.

Obverse Design: The Authority of the Central Bank of Malta

The obverse of the coin bears the official emblem of the Central Bank of Malta, showcasing the nation’s monetary authority and its historical and cultural pride. The intricate design is flanked by two small Maltese Crosses and includes the coin’s face value of €10 Euro, reinforcing its legal-tender status and official backing.

A Symbol That Lives On

While the Maltese Cross has its roots in medieval military and religious traditions, it remains a global emblem of integrity and humanitarian service. Today, its influence spans continents — from civic awards and national honors to the insignia of rescue, fire, and medical organizations. Its presence on modern coinage serves as a bridge between ancient ideals and contemporary values, making it one of the most meaningful motifs in numismatic design.

Whether admired for its visual beauty, symbolic strength, or historical significance, the Maltese Cross continues to resonate with collectors and institutions around the world.
