The 2012 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin marks the milestone of Majority Representation, celebrating a pivotal moment in the nation's constitutional history. The national side features a relief design depicting the landmark 1887 election, which granted the Maltese people their first significant step toward representative government under British colonial rule. This design highlights the enduring struggle for democratic autonomy and the evolution of the Maltese parliamentary system. By commemorating this event, the coin reflects the country's long journey toward sovereignty and the importance of civic participation in shaping national identity. The Royal Dutch Mint produced this specific issue to honour the democratic foundations of the islands. The mintage for this 2012 commemorative issue is 50,000 coins.
