Melita is the personification of Malta drawn from the island's ancient Roman name, appearing on Maltese coinage since independence and retaining her place through the euro transition — one of the few national allegorical figures to survive the shift to a supranational currency intact. The 2025 issue continues a collector bullion series the Central Bank has issued annually, with each edition technically legal tender but produced exclusively for the numismatic market.
