The 2021 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin depicts the prehistoric Tarxien Temples, a significant archaeological site located in the town of Tarxien. These megalithic structures, dating back to approximately 3150 BC, represent the pinnacle of the Ggantija phase of Maltese prehistory. The design highlights the intricate stone carvings and the architectural complexity of the site, which is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. By featuring these ancient ruins, the coin celebrates Malta’s deep historical roots and the sophisticated craftsmanship of its early inhabitants. The national side includes the name of the site and the year of issue, alongside the 'F' mintmark indicating the minting facility. This issue was produced with a mintage of 11,000 coins.
