At this time, during the height of the Blitz, there was a strong desire to reward the many acts of civilian courage. The existing awards open to civilians were not judged suitable to meet the new situation, therefore it was decided that the George Cross and the George Medal would be instituted to recognise both civilian gallantry in the face of enemy action and brave deeds more generally.The George Cross was awarded to the island of Malta by King George VI of the United Kingdom in a letter dated 15 April 1942 to the island's Governor Lieutenant-General Sir William Dobbie, so as to "bear witness to the heroism and devotion of its people" during the great siege it underwent in the early parts of World War II. The George Cross is woven into the Flag of Malta and can be seen wherever the flag is flown.Lettering: REPUBBLIKA TA' MALATAback: European Map with 6 Radiating stars each on either side.Right: The numeral 10 and the inscription EURO CENT.Lettering: 10 EURO CENT LL• quantity 1• demonetized {no longer in circulation} polished Nordic gold coin {not real gold!}• diameter: 19.75 mm• weight: 4.1 g• comes with a 24" brass ball chain Malta coin pendant necklace Maltese jewelry George Cross medal World War 2 dolphinfish Valletta Birkirkara St. Paul's Bay Qormi Città Pinto Hompesch San Pawl il-Bahar Saint John Paola Victoria Gozo Comino Rabat the Blue Lagoon Mosta Żabbar Cominotto Żebbuġ Żejtun Fort Saint Elmo Mdina Qrendi Mnajdra Tarxien Marsa Luqa Siġġiewi Ħamrun Attard Santa Venera Balzan
