The Maltese Lira (MTL) served as Malta’s national currency until the country adopted the euro in 2008.
Over several decades, the Central Bank of Malta issued multiple series of Lira banknotes featuring national leaders, cultural landmarks, maritime heritage, and symbols reflecting Malta’s long and diverse history.
Later issues introduced improved security features and modernised layouts, while earlier notes carried classic engraving styles typical of late‑20th‑century European banknote design.
All Maltese Lira notes were officially withdrawn from circulation following the euro transition, yet many remain in private hands — often discovered in stored belongings, travel documents, or family estates.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of withdrawn Maltese Lira notes, including early paper issues, commemorative designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
