Description (ECB)

The design was created by Maria Anna Frisone and depicts the Maltese honey bee (Apis Mellifera Ruttneri) which is one of the endemic species of flora and fauna found on the Maltese islands. The design shows a rendition of the bee with a flower and a honeycomb filling up the background. The coin raises awareness of one of Malta's endemic species and encapsulates the work of the bee which pollinates flowers and makes honey. At the left side is the inscription of the issuing country ‘MALTA’ and at the right side the year of issuance ‘2024’. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.
