Depicts the coat of arms, surrounded by the new name of the Republic of Malta above and the date below.

The coat of arms was adopted on 11 July 1975, seven months after Malta became a republic. It featured a coastal scene with a rising sun, a traditional Maltese boat (Luzzu), a shovel and pitchfork, and an Opuntia cactus. The emblem sparked controversy due to its non-heraldic nature, and it was replaced shortly after the Nationalist Party's victory in the 1987 election. While there were suggestions to reinstate the 1964 coat of arms, a simplified version of it was ultimately adopted.

Depicts the evergreen rose and value.

The evergreen rose, commonly known as Rosa sempervirens, is a wild climbing rose native to the Mediterranean region. It is characterized by its glossy, evergreen leaves, thorny stems, and delicate, white, fragrant flowers that typically bloom in late spring to early summer. Unlike most rose species, its foliage remains green throughout the year in mild climates, making it especially valued for ornamental use in gardens, walls, and hedgerows. Hardy and resilient, Rosa sempervirens thrives in sunny, well-drained locations and plays a role in supporting local pollinators.
