Lm5 · Central Bank 5th series
1989 · Central Bank of Malta
Melita holds a rudder on the common front design. The reverse gives this denomination its own identity within a family sharing the Melita front. A 1994 revision kept the principal designs while changing security features; those notes are recorded here as a family enhancement rather than additional base denominations. Mdina Gate, Torre dello Standardo and Declaration of Rights appears on the back. The original blue format measures 145 × 69 mm.
