CoinGold Ounce 2020 Melita

Malta has been using the Euro as its currency since 2008. Apart from the regular circulation coinage, the country has also authorised some mints to issue non circulating and bullion coins under its jurisdiction. The one troy ounce of gold (1 oz) is an internationally popular format, and is issued by Malta denominated as €100 (One Hundred Euro). According to Eurozone convention, the denomination is legal tender in Malta only, and not in the whole Eurozone.

This coin part of the Melita bullion range of coins issued by the Central Bank of Malta in collaboration with Maltese company Lombard Bank. The coins are struck by Swiss company PAMP and depict Melita, the female personification of Malta.
