| Additional information |
Malta's Maltese Cross predates the island itself as a political entity — the eight-pointed form was adopted by the Knights Hospitaller in the 16th century and became so thoroughly identified with the island that it survived successive occupations by Napoleon and the British without ever being formally abandoned. The Central Bank has leaned heavily on this iconography for its bullion and collector programs since Malta joined the eurozone in 2008, and the cross remains one of the few national symbols with an unbroken institutional history stretching back to 1530.
