The 2022 Malta 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Erasmus Programme, a landmark European initiative that has facilitated student mobility and cultural exchange since 1987. The design features a stylised representation of Erasmus himself, derived from the famous portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger, integrated with a network of lines that symbolise the connections between students across the continent. These lines converge to form the number 35, highlighting the duration of the programme's success in fostering European integration. By issuing this coin, Malta honours its commitment to the educational values and international cooperation that define the Erasmus legacy. This commemorative issue was released in 2022 with a mintage of 62,500 coins.
