Malta 10 euro Poet Dum Karm Psaila Poetry Literature proof silver coin 2013

The Malta 10 Euro silver Proof coin of 2013 celebrates Dun Karm Psaila, Malta’s celebrated poet, priest and major figure in Maltese literature. The obverse features a finely frosted frontal portrait of the elderly poet wearing clerical attire and a traditional cap, surrounded by his name and designation as poet. His life dates 1871–1961 appear beside the portrait, together with the 10 Euro denomination, while a small emblem and a delicate handwritten verse reproduced across his clothing add literary character. Dun Karm is regarded as Malta’s national poet and played an important role in establishing Maltese as a respected literary language; he also wrote the words that became Malta’s national anthem. The reverse displays the Maltese national coat of arms with a crowned shield bearing the George Cross and vertical stripes, framed by olive and palm branches tied with a ribbon. Twelve stars surround the composition, with Malta and 2013 completing the design. Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish, this elegant issue unites poetry, literature, national identity and portrait art, making it a distinctive modern Maltese collectible.
