Melita Bullion Coin 2023

The 2023 version of the Melita bullion coins, first issued in 2018, was launched on 18 October 2023. These coins are the result of a collaboration project between the Central Bank of Malta and Lombard Bank Malta plc.

The coins, which are legal tender in Malta, were issued in four different weights and denominations. The €100 coin weighs one troy ounce (31.10g), the €50 coin weighs one half ounce (15.55g), the €25 coin weighs one quarter ounce (7.77g) and the €10 coin weighs one-tenth ounce (3.1g). They are struck in 999.9 fine gold (24 carat) by MKS PAMP S.A. Mint in Switzerland and rank among the purest official bullion coins available worldwide.

On the obverse the coins carry the coat of arms of the Republic of Malta, while on the reverse they feature Melita - an allegorical representation of Malta. The figure of Melita represented on the coins is inspired by that created by Edward Caruana Dingli for a set of postage stamps issued shortly after Malta attained self-government in 1921.

The coins are certified and housed individually in a sealed card. Each coin has a unique profile that can be verified using PAMP's innovative VERISCAN bullion security system.

Coins may be purchased from the Malta Coin Centre (MCC) counter or e-shop as well as Lombard Bank's branch and MaltaCoins. Since the coins are classed as investment gold, their price will be based on the international price of gold. Thus prices will be quoted at the point of sale. These coins are exempt from VAT.

For further information, the public is kindly requested to contact the MCC via email or by calling (+356) 2550 6006/7/8 or from Lombard Bank on (+356) 25581163 or via email.
