Coins of the Dominion of Malta consisted of the following denominations: 2 Mils, 3 Mils, 5 Mils, 1 Cent, 2 Cents, 5 Cents, 10 Cents, 50 Cents, 1 Pound, 4 Pounds, 5 Pounds, 10 Pounds, 20 Pounds, and 50 Pounds.


COINS OF THE REPUBLIC OF MALTA (1975-)


Malta became the Republic of Malta within the Commonwealth Of Nations on the 13 December, 1974 . A new Coat-of-Arms was adopted. The 25c. coin was the first coin to depict the new Maltese Coat-of-Arms.

Interestingly, there are some coins dated 1975 which have the old Dominion Coat-of-Arms Obverse . These are mule coins, which are worth the same as the coins depicting the new Coat-of-Arms.

In the early 1990s another Coat-of-Arms was adopted. This was a combination derived from the old Dominion Coat-of-Arms, but it had the Republic's name REPUBBLIKA TA' MALTA (the Maltese for "Republic of Malta") in the scroll below the shield.
