Following the accession of Malta to the European Union on the 1st May 2004, Malta's agreement to introduce the Euro currency and euro coins has now reached its climax. With all statistics and criteria adhered to, Malta has officially applied to introduce the Euro Currency in January 2008. The final desicion which came from Brussels on the 16th May 2007 gave the go ahead for the Euro adoption in Malta. All Malta coins in circulation will therefore seize from circulation and be replaced by the Malta Euro coins.

The Malta Euro Coins were designed by local engraver Noel Galea Bason, the Euro coins will be struck in France and should be available and ready on the island by the end of the year. Three designs have been chosen to appear on the Malta euro coins. These are, the emblem of the Republic of Malta, the eight pointed Maltese cross, and the ritual altar at Hagar Qim (Malta's oldest temples). The reverse of the Maltese Euros will also bear the date of issue '2008' and 'MALTA'.

All three designs for the Malta Euro Coins, were decided following a two round national vote which ended in May 2006. The Euro coin designs seem to have brought a greater national interest in the general collecting of Euro Coins. As our company visits various international European exhibitions such as Numismata in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich, as well as Veronafil in Verona as well as Maastricht Paper money show in Valkenburg The Netherlands, we are promoting and showing the designs and discussing the supply of Malta euro coins with our european business partners.
