| Obverse description | The national arms of Malta occupy the central field: a shield bearing a heraldic representation of the Maltese national flag, surmounted by a mural crown symbolising the island's historic fortifications and civic status. Flanking the shield are an olive branch to the left and a palm frond to the right, the two sprigs united at the base by a ribbon bearing the Maltese-language inscription REPUBBLIKA TA' MALTA. The country name MALTA and the date 2013 appear as part of the surrounding legend. |

| Additional information |
The Auberge de Provence in Valletta was built in the 1570s for the Knights of the Langue of Provence and ranks among the finest surviving examples of Baroque civic architecture in Malta. It served as the seat of the Grand Prior of Provence and later, under British rule, housed the Union Club before being converted into the National Museum of Archaeology. The 2013 issue is part of Malta's ongoing series commemorating historic auberges of the Knights Hospitaller, each struck in sterling silver with collector audiences firmly in mind — none of these pieces were intended for circulation.
