| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Malta centrally positioned in the field, featuring the traditional quartered shield — dexter side bearing the George Cross on a white and red background, sinister side with vertical lines — surmounted by a mural crown. The shield is flanked by two olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bearing the national motto. Small seahorse devices appear at either side of the wreath in the inner field. A dotted inner border encircles the design, with the circular legend reading '€10 ~ 1/10 OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD REPUBBLIKA TA' MALTA' along the upper arc, and 'MALTA' flanked by Maltese cross ornaments along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
Melita is the Latinized name for Malta, used as a personification of the island since antiquity and carried through British colonial coinage before the republic adopted it for this modern bullion series. The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold issues in European sovereign coinage — finer than the Krugerrand, finer than the Sovereign, matching the Canadian Maple Leaf standard. Malta's small domestic market means mintages are tightly controlled, with distribution handled largely through the Central Bank's direct sales program rather than secondary dealers.
