Design
Design
On the reverse, the coins depict Melita, the national personification of Malta. The design is based on the Melita issue postage and revenue stamps of 1922–26, which were designed by the artist Edward Caruana Dingli. The stamps had been designed to commemorate the Malta's new status as a self-governing colony following a new constitution in 1921, and Melita is depicted as a robed helmeted figure holding a rudder, representing Malta as being in control of her own destiny. On the obverse, the coins depict the coat of arms of Malta.

The Melita Gold bullion coins exist in the denominations of €10, €25, €50 and €100, and they are legal tender in Malta. Each denomination has different dimensions and weight. The coins are issued by the Central Bank of Malta in collaboration with Lombard Bank, and they are minted by PAMP S.A. in Switzerland. Their composition makes them some of the purest gold bullion coins available in the world. Three denominations (€25, €50 and €100) were first issued on 29 or 30 November 2018. They are intended both for investors and for coin collectors, and they are sold according to the international gold price. They are issued in sealed cards, and each coin has a unique profile which allows it to be authenticated using PAMP S.A.'s security system. The initial issue of 2018 was limited, and later coins were minted according to demand, so the number struck each year varies. A fourth denomination (€10) was added in 2021. Melita Silver coins were introduced in November 2021, also with a denomination of €10.
