The 2013 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin honours the Self-Government Constitution of 1921, a pivotal milestone in the nation's constitutional history. The national side features a bronze relief depicting the head of a young woman, symbolising the Republic of Malta. This design serves as a tribute to the granting of self-governance by the British colonial authorities, which allowed for the establishment of the first Maltese parliament and a significant increase in local political autonomy. By commemorating this event, the coin highlights the evolution of Malta’s democratic institutions and the enduring spirit of its people in their pursuit of sovereign representation. This issue was produced in a standard circulation format with a total mintage of 500,000 coins in 2013.
