| Additional information |
Malta joined the eurozone on 1 January 2008, ending the Maltese lira after nearly four decades. The transition was managed without a dual-circulation period — lira ceased to be legal tender the same day euro coins entered circulation, an unusually clean cutover that the Central Bank executed by pre-loading ATMs and retail cash points in the final hours of 2007.
The "2nd map" designation refers to the revised EU map design introduced across all eurozone 50-cent coins from 2007 onward, reflecting the enlargement to include newer member states.
