2021 Malta €5 1oz Silver - MALTA KNIGHTS

"Germania" is the Latin term for Germany, from which the name "Germany" is used in English language today. The Germania Mint is proud to present the inaugural release of their highly anticipated Knights of the Past series.

Round Highlights

This inaugural release features Maltese Knights in battle formation, with their castle in the background. These knights are a religious military order dating back to the 11th century, where they ruled under their own papal charter over the Maltese Islands. Remnants of their early years in power are still seen in the region of Malta today, and the group has grown immensely over the years to the worldwide order focused on humanitarian efforts and religious brotherhood that it is today.

The reverse contains the coat of arms for the Bank of Malta held by a Maltese knight standing at attention. This is an extremely unique and beautiful way to display the traditional coat of arms on this highly detailed currency.

The obverse depicts the Knights of Malta in a battle array, with the famous Verdala Palace in the background. The upper rim displays the name of the series with the 5 Euro denomination beneath.

Contains 1oz of .9999 fine Silver.

First release of the Knights of the Past series.

Presented in a plastic capsule.
