On
the 21 September 1964 Malta became an Independent Nation. Malta's
Independence opened new horizons for the island. As a result
the country was able to take its rightful place in all international
fora, including the United Nations. Malta was also able
to expand
its economy with the resulting improvements in the general
living standards of its people. To commemorate the 25th
Anniversary
of Independence, the Central Bank of Malta issued a set of
two coins, one in Gold and the other in Silver. Both coins
bear
the
portrait
of Dr Giorgio Borg Olivier, Prime Minister of the day. The
Gold Proof coin was minted at the Royal Mint, while both
Brilliant
Uncirculated coins were minted at the Malta Mint. Both the
design and the engraving are the work of Mr Noel Galea Bason,
engraver
of the Malta Mint.
