Malta's millennial 5 Liri was the last commemorative issue before the lira series was eventually retired following eurozone accession in 2008. Thomas De La Rue printed the note in London, as they had handled Maltese currency production for much of the post-independence period — a relationship rooted in the colonial-era Government of Malta notes rather than the Central Bank's later establishment in 1968.
Pick 50 is not especially scarce in uncirculated condition, as many were set aside at issue. Finding genuinely circulated examples with honest wear is, oddly, the harder task.
