| Reverse description | A goalkeeper is depicted in full horizontal extension across the central field, diving athletically to his right to catch a football, rendered in finely detailed relief. The legend WORLD CUP '94 curves along the upper periphery in bold capital letters, commemorating the 1994 FIFA World Cup held in the United States. The denomination Lm5 is inscribed in large characters in the lower field, with 'Lm' denoting Lira maltija. The design captures dynamic movement against a polished proof background. |

Struck in the lead-up to USA '94, this is one of several issues Malta produced for the tournament — a small island nation with no realistic prospect of qualifying, but a mint program eager to capture collector revenue from a global event. The World Cup commemorative market was saturated by 1993, with dozens of issuing authorities producing silver rounds of near-identical weight and fineness to capture the same buyer.
KM#107 is the silver proof issue; Malta also struck a gold companion piece that year.
