The Central Bank’s Malta Coin Centre is on Thursday issuing two numismatic coins in silver and cupro-nickel, marking the 50th anniversary of the Armed Forces of Malta.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the coins will not be on sale from the bank’s premises but will only be available from the Malta Coin Centre e-shop here.
The coin design was the result of a collaboration between the bank and the AFM. The coins were manufactured by the Royal Dutch Mint.
On the reverse, the coins feature the AFM’s regimental badge on a red-on-blue coloured background. On the obverse is the coat of arms of the Republic of Malta together with the year of issue.
The coins can be pre-ordered from the Malta Coin Centre website.
More information may be obtained from the Malta Coin Centre, which may be contacted by email here, or by phone on 2550 6006/7.
A digital version of the 2021 coin programme is available from the Malta Coin Centre website as well as on the Central Bank of Malta’s website
