| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a full-length allegorical effigy of Melita, the personification of Malta, rendered in classical draped robes and advancing gracefully toward the viewer, directly inspired by Edward Caruana Dingli's celebrated 1922 postage stamp design. She wears a crown and a garment bearing the Maltese Cross upon her chest, with her right arm extended and her left hand gathering her flowing drapery. In the background, a rocky coastal outcrop with a fortification is visible to the left, and sailing vessels appear on the sea to the right, evoking Malta's maritime heritage. The inscriptions MELITA and 2021 appear along the left arc of the legend, with TEN EURO and a Maltese cross ornament inscribed along the lower arc of the field. |

At 311 grams of fine silver, this is a kilo-equivalent issue — technically a troy pound — a format Malta has used selectively for prestige collector releases. Melita is the ancient Roman name for Malta, derived from the Phoenician word for shelter or refuge, a reference to the island's harbors that made it strategically vital to every Mediterranean power from Carthage onward. The Knights of St. John recognized the same geography when they accepted the island from Charles V in 1530 for the annual rent of a falcon.
