This elegant numismatic coin was issued by the Central Bank of Malta to mark its historic 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee milestone. Released on April 17, 2018, this legal tender €10 coin is highly prized by collectors for its beautiful artistry and groundbreaking technique. Notably, this issue marks the first time that selective gold-plating (gilding) was ever used on Maltese numismatic coins.
The stunning design was crafted by the renowned Maltese artist Noel Galea Bason:
• Obverse: Features the official Coat of Arms of Malta, surrounded by the "MALTA" inscription and the €10 face value.
• Reverse: Showcases the detailed architectural façade of the Central Bank of Malta's custom-built facility, 'Binja Laparelli', located in Valletta. It also features the special 50th-anniversary logo highlighted by contrasting gold plating.
Struck to a flawless mirror-like proof finish, this coin has a highly restrictive worldwide mintage of just 2,500 pieces.
