| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents a finely detailed relief depicting a steam locomotive of the Malta Railway traversing a stone arch bridge rendered in low relief across the lower portion of the field. The locomotive, numbered N4, faces left with billowing smoke rising dramatically from its chimney stack, and a uniformed engineman is visible in the cab. The inscription THE MALTA RAILWAY arcs along the upper left in bold serif lettering, while the denomination 10 EURO appears in large numerals to the upper right. The designer's monogram is incused in the lower left field. The entire design is set against a deeply recessed proof-finish background, accentuating the sculptural quality of the composition. |

Malta's railway history ended abruptly in 1931 when the British colonial government shut down the island's only line — a narrow-gauge route running roughly 11 kilometers from Valletta to Rabat, opened in 1883. The closure came down to economics: the network never turned a profit, buses were cheaper to operate, and the terrain made expansion essentially impossible.
Several stone bridges and cuttings from that infrastructure survive, quietly embedded in the Maltese countryside.
