The reverse depicts the Knights of Malta in confrontation with the Ottoman Empire invaders, during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565 – the most important battle in the island’s history and one of the key ones for Europe. It features a knight of Malta face to face with a soldier of the Ottoman Empire in full attire with hands on their weapons – the Maltese knight having his armour in a striking gilded finish. The background features ships on the water on their way to the island of Malta.  The monetary denomination of 10 Euro is displayed as well as the coins namesake “KNIGHTS OF THE PAST” presented at the top.

The obverse presents the Malta national coat of arms on a shield, held by a Maltese knight. The knight is in full armour with a chain mail pattern on the background. The coins weight, purity and 2022 year-date can be seen as well as “MALTA” at the top.
