Malta 2022 Euro coins BU set with commemorative 2 euro coin
Hal Saflieni Hypogeum Prehistoric cities
The €1 and €2 coins show the emblem used by the Sovereign Order of
Malta. During the Order's rule over Malta, between 1530 and 1798, the
eight-pointed cross became associated with the island and is now often
referred to as the Maltese Cross.
The 10, 20 and 50-cent coins bear
the Emblem of Malta, a shield displaying a heraldic representation of
the Maltese national flag and supporting a mural crown that represents
the fortifications of Malta and denotes a city state. The shield is
bounded on the left by an olive branch and on the right by a palm
branch, symbols of peace traditionally associated with Malta, forming a
wreath tied at its base by a ribbon which carries the inscription
"Repubblika ta' Malta" (Republic of Malta).
The 1, 2 and 5-cent coins
depict the altar at the prehistoric temple complex of Mnajdra, built
around 3600 BC on a low elevation overlooking the sea.
The euro
coin series comprises eight different denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and
50 cent, €1 and €2. The euro coins have a common side and a national
side. The national side indicates the issuing country. The common sides
of the coins were designed by Mr Luc Luycx of the Royal Belgian Mint.
They
show images of the European Union or of Europe and symbolise the unity
of the EU. The 5, 2 and 1 cent coins show Europe in relation to Africa
and Asia on a globe.
You can use any euro coin anywhere in the euro area.
