| Obverse description | The national arms of Malta occupy the central field, depicting a traditional Maltese fishing boat (luzzu) on coastal waters beneath a rising sun, flanked by a shovel and pitchfork, with an Opuntia cactus plant in the lower portion of the shield. The circular legend surrounding the arms reads the country name in Maltese, with the date appearing at the lower periphery. |

| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus), known locally in Malta as lampuka, is depicted in profile occupying the majority of the reverse field. The denomination numeral and unit abbreviation appear to the left of the fish in a clean, sans-serif typeface. The design is minimalist, with no additional ornamentation or border devices beyond the milled edge. |
