Malta 2016 Love
The role of the Malta Community Chest Fund in Society
This coin is envisaged to commemorate the role of the Malta
Community Chest Fund in Society through a programme for secondary school
students entitled ‘From Children in Solidarity’. This programme identifies the
social role of children in five different areas with the first theme being
‘Solidarity through Love’. This design was created by Ms Sarah Cilia a
secondary school student who has expressed this theme through two hands forming
a heart shape which displays a representation of the Maltese flag. At the bottom
of the design is the inscription ‘MALTA 2016’. Two stylised representations of
human bodies are designed on the left wrist and two on the right one. The
coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union.
