The coins in this release celebrate the history of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, a group colloquially known as the Knights of Malta. The Knights of Malta was actually a Catholic religious order that was traditionally focused on military campaigns. The knights, as a group, possessed no territory but is a sovereign entity. The small island off Sicily that the order is named for continues to this day and is the tenth-smallest nation by land area in the world.

The obverse side of 2021 Malta Silver Knights of the Past Coins features a depiction of the Knights of Malta in battle. These powerful knights ride with a Catholic cross on their chest plates. From horseback, the knights lower their spears or raise their swords on the charge.

On the reverse field of the 2021 1 oz Silver Knights of Past Coins is a depiction of the seal of the Central Bank of Malta. The Central Bank of Malta is the sovereign, central bank of the modern Republic of Malta. It was formed in April 1968 to provide fiat currency production for the republic.
