The 2017 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin, themed Solidarity and Peace, features a poignant design created by a student named Joshua Stuart. The imagery depicts two children standing side by side, holding a Maltese flag while a dove of peace flies above them, symbolising the aspirations of the younger generation for a harmonious future. This composition reflects Malta's commitment to fostering unity and international cooperation, themes deeply embedded in the nation's social values. By highlighting the innocence of youth, the design serves as a reminder of the importance of peace in a global context. The coin was minted in 2017 with a mintage of 30,000 pieces.
