| 背面描述 | The upper portion of the reverse features conjoined busts of United States President George H. W. Bush at left and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev at right, rendered in high relief in profile facing one another. The face value appears in the field between the two portraits, with the engraver's initials NGB incuse below the left elbow of Gorbachev's bust. In the lower portion of the design, a Maltese cross is flanked by the flag of the USSR to the left and the flag of the United States to the right, commemorating the December 1989 Malta Summit that signalled the end of the Cold War. A continuous legend encircles the design referencing the historical significance of the event. |

The Malta Summit of December 1989 took place aboard Soviet and American naval vessels in Marsaxlokk Bay during a Force 8 gale — conditions rough enough that several meetings had to be cancelled or relocated. Bush and Gorbachev nonetheless declared the Cold War effectively over, a conclusion reached without a single signed treaty. Malta's role as neutral ground was no accident; the island had cultivated that status deliberately since independence, and Mintoff's government had expelled NATO forces in 1979 precisely to preserve it.
The 26-year gap between event and coin is itself telling — Malta waited until the anniversary year of 1989's broader revolutionary wave across Eastern Europe.
