In
1991 the Central Bank of Malta participated in an international
coin programme intended primarily to provide funds for the
benefit
of a section of the international Community. The obverse of
the coin shows the Coat of Arms of Malta, whereas the reverse
shows three children engaged
in a common and simple game called 'Cat', in which the 'cat'
chases the 'mice' and catches them by a touch of the hand.
The
coin has a face value of Lm5 and it was minted at the Royal
Mint. Both the design and the modelling of both sides of the
coin are the work of the Maltese engraver Mr Noel Galea Bason.
