£5 · Central Bank 1st series
1968 · Central Bank of Malta
Elizabeth II appears on the Bank’s first family of notes. The familiar royal portrait continued under the new Central Bank issuer. Read the institution’s name as well as the face value; similar earlier Government of Malta designs are separate issues. The Act date printed on a note does not by itself establish its issue year.
