| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Maltese coat of arms at centre, featuring a quartered shield bearing the George Cross and vertical stripes, surmounted by a mural crown with five towers and flanked by an olive branch to the left and a palm branch to the right. A scroll beneath the shield bears the legend REPUBBLIKA TA' MALTA in raised relief. The country name MALTA appears to the left along the inner border and the date 2020 to the right, both in large incuse lettering. Twelve five-pointed stars encircle the design within the outer rim, evoking the European Union motif. |

| Additional information |
Malta's connection to Beethoven is essentially nonexistent, which makes this coin exactly what it is: a bullion-adjacent commemorative produced because the 2020 Beethoven anniversary was a pan-European issuing event, with mints and central banks across the continent releasing silver pieces to mark 250 years since his birth in Bonn. The specifications — 28.28g of .925 silver at 38.61mm — are the standard Pobjoy Mint commemorative format Malta has used repeatedly for themed issues aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
