To mark the 250th anniversary of its founding in 1769, the University of Malta teamed up with the Central Bank of Malta to issue two commemorative coins.
The limited edition of a silver coin (face value of €10), made out of 925 silver, is being sold for €60, while the limited edition copper-nickel coin (face value of €5), made out of 75 per cent copper and 25 per cent nickel, is being sold for €25.
The coins show the ceremonial crest of the University of Malta including the Latin inscription "Ut Fructificemus Deo", as well as the period being commemorated while the reverse side depicts the Republic of Malta's coat of arms.
