A new euro coin set dated 2017, in a brilliant uncirculated version, has been issued by the Central Bank of Malta.
The eight Maltese euro coins are incorporated in the set, as well as a €2 coin depicting the prehistoric temples of Hagar Qim. This coin is the second of a series of seven dedicated to Maltese prehistoric monuments.
The Hagar Qim Temples in Qrendi, have some of the largest stone megaliths used in the construction of the prehistoric temples on the Maltese islands.
The site dates to 3,600-3,200 B.C. and is one of the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. Hagar Qim is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The coins were struck at the Monnaie de Paris in France and are in brilliant uncirculated quality.
The commemorative €2 coin and the national sides of the euro coins were designed by Noel Galea Bason.
The sets, which will be limited to 25,000, will be presented in an attractive and illustrated blister-pack.
They may be purchased directly from the Malta Coin Centre eShop, which can be accessed through the Bank’s website. Alternatively, please visit the Malta Coin Centre counter at the main building of the Central Bank of Malta, Castille Place, Valletta. The dated is priced at €26.
