| Additional information |
Malta issued this coin to mark the centenary of the first powered flight from Maltese soil, a 1915 crossing made by an Italian pilot operating in support of Allied naval operations in the Mediterranean during the Gallipoli campaign. The island's strategic position made it a critical staging point for both air and sea traffic throughout the war, and early aviation there was almost entirely military in character.
Malta produces commemorative €2 pieces in relatively modest quantities compared to larger eurozone members, which tends to keep secondary market premiums stable on most issues.
