In 2007, the Central Bank of Malta issued
the 'La Valette' commemorative coin as the last gold coin
denominated
in Maltese lira.
The obverse of the
coin shows the Emblem of Malta with the year of issue 2007.
The reverse depicts Grandmaster La Valette
with the dates of his birth and death (1494 - 1568). These
coins are being issued under the Europa Programme 2007 with
the theme ‘European Realisation’. The 'Europa Star'
which is the official logo of this programme, is also being
shown on the reverse. This coin was designed by the Maltese
engraver Mr Noel Galea Bason and has been minted at the Royal
Dutch Mint.
