The Central Bank of Malta issued a gold proof coin on the occasion of Malta's Accession to the European Union on 1 May 2004.
The coin was designed by Marc Spiteri, who is the winner of a National Competition launched by the Bank for the selection of the theme. The Maltese artist Noel Galea Bason modelled the emblem of Malta, shown on the obverse of the coin.
The chosen design represents Malta's Accession to the European Union through the fusion of the respective flags within the circle formed by the twelve stars of the Union.
