Collection: Banknotes of Malta

Maltese banknotes from the 1980s featured a different traditional vessel on each denomination: the brigantine on the 2 lira note, the speronara on the 5, the tartana on the 10, and the xebec on the 20, each paired with a port or bay on the island.

From independence to the euro

The following series, from 1989, changed in tone: it incorporated Roman mosaics, the Sette Giugno monument, and a scene of the flag-raising with Prime Minister George Borg Olivier on the 20 lira note, the highest denomination.

A lira with a lifespan of less than forty years

The Maltese lira was introduced in 1972 upon the decimalization of the old pound, divided into 1,000 mils and 100 cents. It circulated until December 31, 2007, when Malta adopted the euro at a fixed exchange rate of 0.4293 liras per euro.
