New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2019/C 352/15)




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Malta

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: Malta

Subject of commemoration: Unesco World Heritage Site – pre-historic temples of Ta’ Haġrat

Description of the design: The design features Ta’ Haġrat, a prehistoric temple located in Mġarr, a small village in the northwest of Malta. The temple consists of two structures the largest of which dates to around 3 600-3 200 BC. This temple has a monumental doorway, which is its most distinctive characteristic. The inscription ‘TA’HAĠRAT TEMPLES 3600-3000 BC’ appears at the top of the design. At the bottom are the name of the issuing country ‘MALTA’ and the year of issuance ‘2019’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued: 320 000

Date of issue: July 2019
