5 Liri Sir Adriano Dingli

Sir Adriano Dingli served as Chief Justice of Malta under British colonial rule and was the principal architect of the Maltese Civil Code, enacted in 1868 — a codification so thorough that its framework remained substantively intact well into the independent republic era. This coin was issued as part of Malta's long-running commemorative series honoring figures who shaped Maltese law, culture, and public life before and after independence.
