Records group the recurring eagle-and-serpent design by denomination, metal and weight. Annual dates, proof finishes, coatings and packaging are documented presentations, not additional base types. Their edition quantities are not added into a total mintage. Early descriptions vary between Malta’s emblem and the Central Bank arms; the later issue descriptions identify the Central Bank arms. No unverified die-level distinction is asserted.
The name Golden Eagle identifies the design series; it does not mean every coin is made of gold. Silver and gold denominations have separate records. Surface coatings and proof strikes remain documented presentations within the appropriate denomination and metal.
