Malta 2025 Maltese ox BU

The obverse of the coin features a Maltese ox in profile, standing on a grassy surface and depicted in an imposing posture. Indeed, its musculature and robust horns highlight the strength and dignity of the animal. In addition, the inscription “IL-BUĦAJ MALTI” (meaning “the Maltese ox”) appears at the top of the image in capital letters.

At the bottom of the scene, the inscription “MALTA 2025” indicates the issuing country and the year of issue. This precision allows the commemorated event to be placed in time. In addition, the outer border is decorated with the twelve stars of the European Union, symbolizing the unity of the member countries.

The engraved details show a great concern for realism, particularly in the rendering of the horns and musculature of the ox. Consequently, this visual representation illustrates the artistic mastery and respect for the animal represented.
