Front: The Banca Guratali ta' Ghawdex (Bank of Gozo) building on the left and the Banca Guratali ta' L-Imdina (Bank of Mdina) building on the right, two historic banking institutions of Malta. The inscription commemorates the date 20 June 1428, when the Maltese and Gozitans received the Diploma tal-Ħelsien (Charter of Liberties) from King Alfonso V of Aragon, a foundational document in Maltese constitutional history granting self-governance rights.

Back: José María Morelos y Pavón (1765–1815), Mexican Roman Catholic priest and revolutionary leader who led the Mexican War of Independence after the death of Miguel Hidalgo. The 'SUD' emblem shown is the insurgent emblem he used during the independence movement. Morelos is regarded as one of Mexico's greatest national heroes for his military campaigns and his convening of the Congress of Chilpancingo which declared Mexican independence.
