Interesting fact

The 1982 Malta 5 Cents coin was designed by artist Edward Caruana Dingli and features the Maltese coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with the symbols of the four evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and is topped with a crown, representing the country's history as a British colony. The coin's design is a nod to Malta's rich history and cultural heritage.
