Melita is the personification of Malta dating to Roman antiquity, the name derived directly from the island's Latin designation. This coin belongs to Malta's ongoing gold bullion program, which the Central Bank uses partly to capitalize on collector demand tied to the country's unusually dense layering of Phoenician, Arab, Norman, and Knights Hospitaller history within a landmass of roughly 316 square kilometers.
