The 2009 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin marks the tenth anniversary of the Economic and Monetary Union. The national side features a design representing the transition of Malta into the eurozone, showcasing a stylised human figure linked to the euro symbol. This artistic composition reflects the integration of the Maltese economy into the broader European financial framework, symbolising the nation's commitment to the single currency. The design was selected following a public competition, highlighting the importance of the event for the country's modern economic history. The imagery serves as a testament to Malta’s role within the European Union and its participation in the collective monetary policy. This coin was issued in 2009 with a mintage of 700,000 pieces.
