The Central Bank of Malta issued a Silver Commemorative Coin, under the UNICEF "For the Children of the World" International Coin Programme commemorating UNICEF's 50th Anniversary and its ongoing service to children. The aim of the issue was to collect funds for the promotion of children's welfare all over the world. As was done in the past, the Central Bank of Malta paid a royalty to UNICEF for each coin sold. In order to support further UNICEF's noble cause, the Bank decided that, in addition, it will also be donating all profits from the sale of this coin in Malta to local entities committed to the welfare of Children, while the Bank's profits on overseas sales will be given to UNICEF. The obverse side of the coin shows the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Malta and the year of issue 1997, whereas the reverse shows a child cuddling a dog, with a computer on the side together with the UNICEF Logo.
