| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized frontal view of the Mnajdra temple complex, one of Malta's ancient megalithic prehistoric structures and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rendered in a geometric, graphic style. The central motif depicts the trilithon entrance portal flanked by two decorated orthostats adorned with pitted spiral ornamentation, evoking the distinctive Maltese temple architecture. The country name MALTA appears in the lower field below the temple motif, followed by the year of issue. The engraver's initials NGB are inscribed discreetly on the design. Twelve five-pointed stars, symbolizing European unity, encircle the entire composition along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | The common reverse design, created by Luc Luycx, displays the large numeral '2' dominating the left and center of the field, with the inscription 'EURO CENT' arranged in two lines to the upper right. A globe rendered in relief occupies the lower right quadrant, depicting Europe at the center of the world against a background of parallel horizontal lines suggesting a map projection. Six five-pointed stars are positioned along the upper right arc of the rim, with a further six stars along the lower left arc, completing the standard twelve-star European motif. The engraver's initials 'LL' appear to the right of the globe. The mint mark 'F' for the Monnaie de Paris is visible on applicable issues. |
