The national side depicts a collection of iconic Maltese architectural and archaeological symbols, representing the diverse influences that have shaped the islands over millennia. These motifs serve as a tribute to the prehistoric megalithic temples, which are among the oldest free-standing structures in the world, alongside elements reflecting the country's unique Mediterranean identity. By focusing on cultural heritage, the design underscores Malta's commitment to preserving its ancient past for future generations. This commemorative issue was released into general circulation in 2018 with a total mintage of 300,000 coins.
