| Obverse description | The crowned Arms of the Central Bank of Malta occupy the central field, superimposed upon a Maltese cross rendered in the background. Flanking the shield on either side is an ornate wreath composed of palm and olive branches interspersed with roses and lilies. The denomination '5 EURO' appears in the legend along with the issuer inscription 'MALTA' and the motto 'FIDUCIA FORTIS 1968', the latter referencing the Bank's founding year. The silver fineness designation '1 oz 999.9 FINE SILVER' is incorporated within the circular legend. The mintmark 'GM' for Germania Mint is present in the lettering. |

| Reverse description | A golden eagle is depicted in dynamic flight, oriented to the left with its beak open and talons extended aggressively. In the lower left of the field, a serpent rears upward with fangs bared, engaging the eagle in combat — a scene evoking natural struggle and heraldic symbolism. The background is rendered with stylized sea waves, providing depth and a distinctly Maltese maritime context. The ruthenium plating creates a dramatic dark contrast that accentuates the finely detailed feathers and musculature of the bird. The reverse legend 'GOLDEN EAGLE' and the date '2024' are inscribed within the circular border. |
