The Central Bank of Malta's long-running 10 Liri series, anchored by Thomas De La Rue printing throughout its production life, was a workhorse denomination that circulated continuously across Malta's pre-euro economy for over a decade. The Maltese lira had been pegged to a basket of currencies — sterling, the US dollar, and the Deutsche Mark — since 1971, and the 10 Liri note sat at the upper end of everyday transactional use without ever crossing into the territory where forgery pressure would demand a major security overhaul.
Malta adopted the euro in January 2008, making notes from the final years of this run the last Maltese lira ever issued.
