The Maltese Cross is steeped in history, dating back to the Knights Hospitaller, later known as the Knights of Malta, a medieval Catholic military order founded around 1080 in Jerusalem. These knights were initially tasked with caring for pilgrims journeying to the Holy Land. In 2025, the Maltese Cross Coin Series returns with fresh offerings, now available in 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz gold options. Right now, 2025 1/4 oz Malta Gold Maltese Cross Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2025 1/4 oz Malta Gold Maltese Cross Coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and housed in a secure capsule. These coins hold legal tender status with a face value in Euros, fully guaranteed by the Central Bank of Malta.
The cross gained further prominence when Grand Master Jean de Valette successfully defended Malta against Ottoman forces in the Great Siege of 1565, an event that elevated both the knights and their symbol to legendary status throughout Europe. When Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Malta in 1798, ending the knights’ sovereignty, the symbol maintained its cultural significance while gradually evolving from a purely religious emblem into a broader representation of courage and assistance to those in peril.
The obverse of the 2025 Malta Gold Maltese Cross displays the distinguished seal of the Central Bank of Malta. This heraldic design presents a central shield flanked by two knights, with prominent Maltese crosses positioned to either side. Radiating lines provide depth and texture to the field behind the central elements, adding a visual dynamism to the piece.
On the reverse side of the 2025 1/4 oz Gold Maltese Cross Coins, collectors will find the instantly recognizable Maltese Cross. This eight-pointed symbol, emblematic of the Knights of Malta, rose to prominence during the First Crusade. The cross’s distinctive shape, with four v-shaped arms that narrow toward the center, was designed to be worn on armor as a badge of protection and identification during battle, while its white color against red backgrounds symbolized purity against the blood of sacrifice.
