Central Bank of Malta informiert:
On 14 December 2020, the Central Bank of Malta will issue a commemorative €2 coin with the theme ‘Games’. A design by student Ymen Riahi, who attends St Nicholas Middle School in Rabat, was chosen for the last of a series of five €2 coins from the ‘From Children in Solidarity’ programme.
The young artist was inspired by traditional games popular with Maltese children. In fact, he depicts a melange of games including marbles, spinning tops and traditional kite-making and flying. Depicted is also a Maltese version of hop-scotch which is known locally as ‘passju’. Three bees flying in a circle allude to a popular chant sung by Maltese children during play.
The coin reverse shows the common €2 side. The obverse (national side), which was designed by the student, was engraved by Noel Galea Bason.
The coins will be available in rolls of 25 coins each at a price of €70 per roll and individually in cards at a price of €7 per coin card.
