| Reverse description | The reverse presents a powerful historical scene commemorating the centenary of the Sette Giugno riots of 7 June 1919, in which British colonial troops fired upon Maltese demonstrators. In the foreground, seen from behind, a group of helmeted soldiers in full kit level their rifles toward a crowd of Maltese civilian men, depicted in period dress including flat caps and suits, standing defiantly in the upper field. The denomination 10 EURO appears at the top of the field, and the commemorative legends 100 SENA, SETTE GIUGNO, 1919, and 2019 are inscribed in the lower left. The engraver's initials NGB are visible on the left side of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Sette Giugno — "Seventh of June" — refers to the 1919 riots in Valletta that left four Maltese civilians dead after British troops fired into a crowd demonstrating against the rising cost of living following World War I. The killings galvanized Maltese nationalist sentiment and directly accelerated British concessions toward self-governance, with Malta receiving its first constitution granting limited autonomy in 1921.
June 7th is now a national public holiday in Malta.
