The Maltese Cross traces its origins to the Knights Hospitaller, later known as the Knights of Malta, a medieval Catholic military order founded in Jerusalem around 1080 to provide care for pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. The Maltese Cross Coin Series continues in 2025 with new weights available in 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz gold. Now, 2025 1/2 oz Malta Gold Maltese Cross Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
In the obverse design of 2025 1/2 oz Gold Maltese Cross Coins, you will find the seal of the Central Bank of Malta. This design includes a shield at the center supported by knights on either side. There are Maltese crosses on each side of the design element, with radial lines filling the background field.
For the reverse side of 2025 Malta Gold Maltese Cross Coin, the mint features the iconic Maltese Cross. The eight-pointed cross design emerged as their distinctive symbol during the First Crusade, with each point representing the eight obligations or beatitudes the knights pledged to uphold: loyalty, piety, frankness, bravery, glory and honor, contempt of death, helpfulness toward the poor and sick, and respect for the church.
After being driven from Jerusalem and subsequently from Rhodes, the Knights established their headquarters on Malta in 1530, where the symbol became so closely associated with the island that it gained its common name. During their 268-year rule of Malta, the cross adorned buildings, fortifications, and coins, becoming integral to Maltese cultural identity.
These 2025 1/2 oz Malta Gold Maltese Cross Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin is individually packaged in a protective capsule with the face value in Euros backed by the Central Bank of Malta.
