Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Malta's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Maltese coat of arms, which includes a shield with the George Cross, a symbol of the country's history as a British colony. The reverse side features a representation of the Maltese temples, which are some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world and a testament to Malta's ancient civilization. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can serve as a window into a country's history and cultural heritage.
