The Order of Malta is an order of knights dating back nearly a millennium with the establishment of the Knights Hospitaller circa 1099. Founded with heavy roots in the Crusades, the Order became known for its selfless service to others around Jerusalem and beyond. The knights eventually landed on the island of Malta in the early 16th century, from where they still serve today. The Order of Malta has standing on the modern world stage and maintains diplomatic relationships with over 100 other sovereign states.

The obverse features a Maltese knight entering battle wielding a gilded sword. Mounted cavalry and the famous Verdala Palace fill out the background, with KNIGHTS OF THE PAST written at the top and 10 EURO stamped on the right. The Central Bank of Malta backs each coin for 10 Euros.
