In 2018, the Central Bank of Malta issued numismatic coins in gold and silver depicting 'The Baptism of Christ', a statuary group by Giuseppe Mazzuoli (1644-1725). The coins are issued under the Europa Programme with the theme 'Baroque and Rococo' and bear the Europa Star logo.
The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of Malta and the Europa Star logo. The reverse of the coins depicts the 'Baptism of Christ', a monumental white marble sculpture executed in Rome by Giuseppe Mazzuoli and installed in the apse of St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta, in 1703.
