10 cents · Ten years of decimalisation · 1982

1982 · Central Bank of Malta

A 10 cents collector design dated 1982 for ten years of Maltese decimal coinage. One face depicts grand master’s ceremonial galley; the other combines the value with a special decimalisation anniversary legend. That legend distinguishes this type from the ordinary circulation design, even when the motif is familiar.
