Silver coin 5 euro Malta 2023 – Golden eagle

The golden eagle is a bird of prey of the hawk family, the largest eagle. It lives mainly in the mountains. Currently, the golden eagle, like most other European raptors, is under the protection of state laws.
For centuries this species has been one of the most respected birds used in falconry. Because of their hunting prowess, the golden eagle is treated with great mystical reverence in some ancient tribal cultures.

Obverse: a majestic golden eagle fights a dangerous and vicious snake, symbolizing temptation. The collision of the strongest eagle in Europe and a reptile takes place against the backdrop of sea waves. The design is a reference to the Mediterranean Sea, on which Malta is located.
Reverse: image of the symbol of Malta surrounded by olive and palm branches. Lily flowers symbolize greatness and glory, and roses are an attribute of purity and harmony.
