The 2021 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin features the prehistoric Tarxien Temples, a significant archaeological site located in the town of Tarxien. This design is part of a series dedicated to Malta’s unique megalithic heritage, highlighting the island's status as home to some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world. The depiction captures the intricate stone carvings and architectural complexity that define these UNESCO World Heritage sites, which date back to approximately 3150 BC. By honouring these ancient ruins, the coin serves as a tribute to the sophisticated Neolithic culture that once thrived on the archipelago. These temples remain a central pillar of Maltese national identity and historical pride. This issue was minted in 2021 with a total mintage of 150,000 coins.
