Malta 2026 Pharaoh Hound UNC

The obverse of this coin depicts, at its center, the noble silhouette of a Pharaoh Hound, standing in profile. Its upright posture, erect ears, and fine musculature convey the breed’s agility and alertness. The finely sculpted body reflects both the lightness and power of this iconic animal. Furthermore, the carefully engraved anatomical details emphasize the unique morphology of the Pharaoh Hound.

The upper right corner features the Maltese inscription “IL-KELB TAL-FENEK,” which translates to “the rabbit-hunting dog.” This traditional name reflects the animal’s historical role in Malta. Below, the issuing country, “MALTA,” is indicated, along with the year “2026.” The artist’s initials, “N.G.”, are discreetly placed to the left of the dog’s front paws. The coin’s outer edge is adorned with the twelve stars of the European Union, signifying Malta’s membership in the Eurozone.
