 Gültige Zahlungsmittel Malta Banknoten   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Malta is rich in prehistoric temples and it was fitting that a decorative ornament taken from one of the foremost temples of this kind should be borrowed to enhance the artistic beauty of the notes.
Common on the obverse side of the three notes is the prominence given to the figure of Malta holding a rudder representing the island in contol of her own destiny.
Other features include, among others, the old coat of arms of Malta appearing on the facade of the Cathedral in Mdina and a trophy incorporating the coat of arms of the order of St John and of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena on the Banka Guratali in Gozo.

 Flag of Malta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flag of Malta is a basic bi-colour, with white in the hoist and red in the fly: the banner of the arms of Malta.
Tradition states that the colours of the flag were given to Malta by Count Roger of Sicily, in 1091; however, this claim is only a legend developed through time.
In the upper hoist corner (in the canton of the white stripe) is the George Cross, outlined in red.

Shields of arms carved in wood and stone may be found all over Malta dating from before the arrival of the Knights of Saint John, notwithstanding the latters domination of these islands and their continuous erosion of the rights of the Maltese, during their 250 years of rule here.
This was the Malta flag for centuries and the augmentation of our national flag with the unique distinction of the George Cross, by the British Government, while Malta was still a colony, although an honour, was viewed by some as an alien addition to Malta's ancient flag.

The version of the coat of arms associated with the MacEgan family of Ballymacegan is probably the widely used.
The chief to whom this second coat of arms was granted was Darby Egan of Ballymacegan and he retained the golden snake.
Sometimes the motto of Ballymacegan arms is given as an ablative: “Fortitudine et Prudentia,” that is “With (or “in”) Forittude and Prudence.” The Latin motto accompanying both arms at Lorrha and those in the Genealogical Office is, however, in the nominative case.

 Coat of Arms - The Central Bank of Malta
The establishment of the Armorial Bearings and Supporters of the Central Bank of Malta was a lengthy process involving registration in the official records of the College of Arms in the United Kingdom.
