Aversbeschreibung The national emblem of the Republic of Malta occupies the central field within a raised circular border, depicting a traditional Maltese fishing boat (dghajsa) amid waves beneath a radiant sun, with a prickly pear cactus to the right. The emblem is rendered in fine relief against a flat field. The circular legend REPUBBLIKA . TA' . MALTA . runs along the outer rim in Latin capitals, separated by a small six-pointed star at the base.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Fort Manoel was built by the Knights of St. John between 1723 and 1732 on Manoel Island, commissioned by Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena — whose name it bears — as a defensive work protecting Marsamxett Harbour. The British later used it as a quarantine station, a role it held through much of the 19th century, before serving as an important submarine base during World War II.

This coin belongs to Malta's early post-independence commemorative silver program, launched as the young republic worked to establish its numismatic identity following the 1964 separation from Britain. The .987 fineness is unusually high for a circulation-adjacent commemorative of this period.
