2024 Malta Maltese Bee 10 Euro 2 oz High Relief Black Ruthenium Silver BU

 

In 1977, the Central Bank of Malta issued its first collector’s coin, the Maltese Bee, which commemorated the honey bee (Apis mellifera ruttneri), a species native to the Maltese islands, crucial for pollination and honey production. This coin holds deep cultural significance, highlighting Malta’s historical ties to beekeeping and its commitment to preserving natural heritage.

 

To honor this monetary legacy, Germania Mint created a modern interpretation of the original coin. The updated design is distinguished by its unique shape, meticulous craftsmanship, and artistic allure, symbolizing a harmonious connection between the past and future in numismatic art. This modern edition embodies both tradition and innovation, paying tribute to Malta’s rich cultural and natural history.

 

The obverse of the coin features a honey bee against the backdrop of a honeycomb, showcasing symbols characteristic of Malta. Notable details emphasize the insect’s anatomy, precisely struck by the Central Bank of Malta, which is a partner in this release.

 

The ennoble coin was minted in a limited edition of 500 pieces, packaged in a lens capsule and a wooden box with a sleeve.
