In 1977, the Central Bank of Malta issued its first collector's coin, the Maltese Bee, in honour of the honey bee (Apis mellifera ruttneri), a species indigenous to the Maltese islands, essential for pollination and honey production. This iconic coin has deep cultural significance, highlighting Malta's historical ties to beekeeping and its commitment to preserving natural heritage.

In tribute to this numismatic legacy, Germania Mint has created a contemporary reinterpretation of the original coin. The redesign, by Natalia Danysz, is distinguished by its innovative shape, exquisite craftsmanship and artistic appeal that symbolises the harmonious union of tradition and innovation in the art of numismatics. The new issue, minted in one and two ounces of pure silver, captures the essence of Malta’s rich cultural and natural heritage.

1 oz silver coin

The obverse of the coin features a honey bee on a honeycomb background, displaying symbols characteristic of Malta. The high quality of the design's detailing accurately highlights the insect's anatomy.

While on the reverse of the piece, the honeycomb with Maltese symbols is shown again in the background, and in the center of it is the coat of arms of Malta, framed by the upper inscription of the name of the issuing country "MALTA" next to the year of issue "2024", and at the bottom the weight, metal and purity of the coin are indicated.

The 1 oz silver coin comes encapsulated and presented in this rustic wooden case, accompanied by its corresponding certificate of authenticity.
