The Central Bank of Malta is issuing a new euro coin set dated 2011 which will incorporate the eight Maltese euro coins, designed by Noel Galea Bason.
The set also includes a €2 commemorative coin, bearing the inscription ‘First Elected Representatives – 1849’. This coin was designed by Ġanni Bonnici and is the first in a series of five €2 commemorative coins commemorating Malta’s constitutional history.
The set, which will be in a distinctive box, will also include a replica coin of the Punic period, the original of which is currently held in the Bank’s Currency Museum collection.
The set will be on sale from Wednesday at €35 including VAT from the Malta Coins Distribution Centre at the main building of the Central Bank of Malta.
