The 2017 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin, themed Solidarity and Peace, features a poignant design created by student Gabriel Cassar. The artwork depicts two children standing side by side, holding a Maltese flag, with a dove of peace soaring above them. This imagery serves as a powerful representation of Malta’s commitment to fostering unity and harmony among future generations. By highlighting the innocence of youth alongside symbols of national identity and global reconciliation, the coin reflects the country's historical dedication to diplomatic bridge-building and social cohesion. The design is rendered with clean lines, emphasising the simplicity and universality of the message of peace. This coin was issued in 2017 with a mintage of 350,000 pieces.
