A new euro coin set dated 2018 in a brilliant uncirculated version, has been issued by the Central Bank of Malta
It consists of eight Maltese euro coins as well as a €2 coin depicting the prehistoric temples of Mnajdra. The latter is the third in a series of seven coins dedicated to Maltese prehistoric monuments.
Mnajdra Temples in Malta, lie in very close proximity to the Hagar Qim temples. Mnajdra dates to 3,600-3,200 B.C. and is one of the oldest free-standing monuments in the world.
The site was first excavated in 1840 and is best known for its astronomical alignments. Mnajdra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Bank has said that coins in the set are in brilliant uncirculated quality and were struck at the Monnaie de Paris in France.
The national sides of the euro coins and the commemorative €2 coin were designed by Noel Galea Bason.
The dated sets, which will be limited to 15,000, are presented in an attractive and illustrated blister-pack at the price of €26.
Sets may be purchased directly from the Malta Coin Centre e-shop [1], or from the Malta Coin Centre counter at the main building of the Central Bank of Malta, Castille Place, Valletta.
