The Department of Malta delighted history enthusiasts and currency aficionados this morning with a fascinating throwback video commemorating the 16th anniversary of Malta's transition to the Euro currency.

The video highlights the introduction of the first series of decimal coins based on the Maltese Lira on the 16th of May 1972. The nostalgic footage offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Malta's economic history, showcasing the craftsmanship and design of the coins that circulated until the country embraced the Euro on the 1st of January 2008.

This journey through time serves as a reminder of the nation's monetary evolution and the significance of the Euro's integration into Malta's financial landscape.

What a throwback!
