The Maltese Cross is one of the most recognizable symbols tied to medieval history, tracing its roots to the Knights Hospitaller—later known as the Knights of Malta—who were formed in Jerusalem around the year 1080. These knights originally cared for pilgrims making their way to the Holy Land.

The Maltese Cross became even more well-known in 1565, when Grand Master Jean de Valette led the Knights of Malta in successfully defending the island from Ottoman forces during the Great Siege. Though Napoleon’s capture of Malta in 1798 ended the knights’ control, the Maltese Cross continued to stand for bravery and service beyond its religious roots.

The obverse of the 2025 Malta Gold Maltese Cross Coin presents the official seal of the Central Bank of Malta. The design includes a shield supported by two knights, flanked by Maltese Crosses, and set against a background of radiating lines that add depth and texture to the imagery.

On the reverse side, the Maltese Cross is featured in a classic layout. This eight-pointed cross, long associated with the Knights of Malta, was used as a badge of honor during the Crusades. With its four v-shaped arms narrowing at the center, the symbol stood for protection in battle and spiritual commitment, often shown in white against a red background.
