5 Euro Silver 999 Maltese Cross Malta 2024

Maltese cross – the newest major international currency

The Maltese cross is an iconic part of Malta’s heritage. More commonly associated with the Knights of Malta, the symbol is now used on everything from coins to logos of different organizations and foundations internationally.

Some believe that the points on the cross denote the knights’ eight aspirations and duties, “to live in truth, to have faith, to repent of one’s sins, to give evidence of humility, to love justice, to be merciful, to be sincere and wholehearted and endure persecution.”

To this day, the Maltese cross remains the symbol of the National Military Order of Malta, and organizations dedicated to medical and humanitarian aid and protection.

While this coin is a modern technologically advanced coin in silver and its origin lies in history.
