Malta was declared a republic on 13 December 1974, following amendments to the constitutional changes which were approved by Malta’s Parliament.
The coin reverse is the common €2 side designed by Luc Luycx. The coin obverse (national side), which was designed by Ġanni Bonnici, reproduces a marble tablet affixed to the façade of the Presidential Palace in Valletta to mark Malta’s transition from a monarchy to a republic.
