Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Euro coin from Malta is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of Malta, which includes a shield with the George Cross, a symbol of the country's history as a British colony. The reverse side of the coin features a map of Malta, along with the inscription "Malta" in Maltese, English, and French. This design was created by the Maltese artist, Noel Galea Bason, and it has been used on all 2 Euro coins issued by Malta since 2008.
