| Additional information |
Piedfort coins from Malta's Central Bank were issued primarily for collectors and diplomatic gifts, never intended for circulation. The 1988 piedfort program coincided with Malta's active period of asserting international neutrality — enshrined in the 1974 constitution — which drove considerable prestige-coin diplomacy through the 1980s. At precisely double the standard flan thickness, piedforts of this era were produced in extremely limited quantities, making survivors in original presentation condition the only realistic collecting target.
