2023 Malta €10 2-oz Silver Knights of the Past High Relief Antiqued w/Golden Ennobling BU

Knights Of Malta Coins Return For A Third—And Final—Year

The legendary history of the Knights of Malta dates back to the early 1500s when the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John took possession of Malta and begin seeing to the Mediterranean island’s defenses. From then until they were expelled by Napoleon’s forces in 1798, they not only built several fortifications and watch towers along the coast, but also constructed many lavish palaces, theaters and hospitals that still exist today. Originally formed by noble-born knights to escort and provide care & protection to pilgrims journeying to the Holy Land, the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John had been without a home until King Charles V of Spain granted the island of Malta to them in 1530 in exchange of an annual gift of a single Maltese falcon.

Symbolic Design Of An Armored Knight

Today, the Sovereign Order of Malta is no longer a military order but a complete sovereign entity. You can pay tribute to the famous Knights of Malta with this Knights of the Past coin produced by the Central Bank of Malta in collaboration with the Germania Mint. The third—and final—release in the series, it was struck two ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver and is €10 (10 Euros) legal tender in the Republic of Malta. The coin’s exciting design of an armored Maltese Knight dressed in ornate armor is meant to symbolize how these brave warriors guarded the freedom and unity of Europe. In the background is the watchtower of Valetta and Fort Saint Angelo in Birgu, which was the Order’s headquarters during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565.

Celebrating The Legacy Of The Knights Of Malta

The Great Siege of Malta, which lasted from May to September, was the most important battle in the island’s history and one of the key ones for Europe. The four-month siege pitted between 35,000 and 40,000 soldiers from the Ottoman Empire against around 2,500 Maltese defenders. The Maltese victory was portrayed as a heroic defense of a Christian island against Muslim invaders and shattered the illusion that the Ottoman Turks were invincible.
