Central Bank of Malta 30th Anniversary

In April 1998 the Central Bank of Malta issued a Silver Commemorative Coin to mark the 30th Anniversary of its establishment by law on the 17th April 1968. The obverse side of the coin shows the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Malta and the year of issue 1998. The reverse of the coin shows a pyramid structure which symbolically represents the financial solidity and strength of the Maltese banking system, the inscription "30 Anniversarju Bank Centrali ta' Malta 1968-1998" and the Bank's Coat of Arms. This design is based on an existing emblematic fountain designed by the renowned Maltese Architect Prof. Richard England and is found in the Central Bank's premises at the St James's Counterguard in Valletta, the Capital City of Malta. The coin was legal tender in Malta until 31 January 2008 and was struck at the Royal Mint, United Kingdom. The coin design is the work of the Maltese artist Mr Noel Galea Bason.
