​The Knights of Malta originally formed in present-day Italy as a relief group for pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. When the Crusades established the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Knights then became engaged in religious military conflicts. Later, they settled in Malta until they were driven out in 1798 by Napoleon I. Today, the organization is based in Rome, where it strives to maintain a tradition of chivalry and nobility.  
​The obverse of 2022 2 oz Antique Silver Knights of the Past Coins features a Knight of Malta facing off against an Ottoman invader. This image is inspired by the historic Siege of Malta that took place in 1565. In the background we see a soldier standing guard and a fleet of ships in the Mediterranean Sea. Inscriptions on the obverse field read Knights of Malta, 10 Euro.  
​On the reverse side of 2022 2 oz Antique Malta Silver Knights of the Past Coins you’ll find the coat of arms of the Bank of Malta. In a clever twist, this official emblem is adorned on the shield of a knight who is featured in the background. The reverse also includes inscriptions that read Malta, 2022, 2 oz Ag 999.9.
