Depicts the coat of arms, surrounded by the 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 a portrait of Alfonso Maria Galea, facing left, with his name inscribed above the portrait. Behind his head, the years of his birth and death are printed on separate lines, and the denomination is accompanied by the pound symbol (£). The year of issue is positioned below the portrait.
