The Central Bank of Malta wins two awards at the Berlin World Money Fair
During the International Coin Fair held in Berlin between 29 January and 31 January 2026, the Central Bank of Malta achieved two 3rd best ranking in 'Les Amis De L'Euro' awards.
The Commemorative €2 coin 'Maltese Bee' was classified as the third most beautiful €2 coin of the year. This is the same coin which had ranked first on the same event last year in the European Denomination of the Year award.
Meanwhile, the €5 'Maltese Ox' coin classified third in the European Denomination of the Year award.
It is a great honour for the CBM to claim such awards simultaneously at the same event and having a design (the Maltese Bee) that has to date won three awards. This success is testament to the excellent craftmanship of the designers and engravers engaged by the CBM, as well as the dedication and meticulous process of CBM staff in selecting the themes and the final design of its coins.
