The 2014 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 50th anniversary of the nation's independence from the United Kingdom. The national side features a detail of the bronze monument commemorating Independence, which was inaugurated in Floriana in 1989. Designed by Ganni Bonnici, the sculpture depicts a female figure representing Malta, who is shown holding the national flag. This imagery serves as a powerful symbol of the country's sovereignty and its transition to a constitutional monarchy in 1964, followed by its establishment as a republic a decade later. The design reflects the pride of the Maltese people in their hard-won self-governance and their enduring national identity. This coin was issued in 2014 with a mintage of 25,000 pieces.
