| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed engraving of tall-masted sailing vessels navigating a narrow waterway, evoking the inaugural transit through the Suez Canal in 1869. Two prominent ships are shown in the foreground with full rigging, rendered in fine relief against a lightly textured background suggesting water and distant vessels. The dates 1869 and 2019 appear in the upper field flanking the masts, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the canal's opening. The denomination 10 EURO is inscribed in the lower right field, while the curved legend THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUEZ CANAL arcs along the lower border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Suez Canal's opening in 1869, this coin arrives at an awkward historical moment for Malta — the island's entire strategic importance to Britain, and later to NATO, was predicated on the canal's existence. Before 1869, Malta's Grand Harbour was a critical waypoint for the long Cape route; the canal made it indispensable as a coaling and resupply station for ships transiting between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. The canal didn't diminish Malta's role — it amplified it for decades.
