Germania Mint Silver Coin: Maltese Ox 2025 UHR, 2 ounces

The silver coin is issued in a low mintage of only 500 pieces

In the spirit of commemorating and protecting the unique animal species associated with Malta, Germania Mint is presenting a collector's edition of the Maltese ox in a unique artistic interpretation. This once prized cattle species, which for centuries played a key role in agriculture and the daily lives of the island's inhabitants, is now among the most endangered. Today, only a small number of individuals exist, with none representing a fully pure lineage anymore, making the commemoration of this species even more significant. Natalia Danysz's original design develops the distinctive style of previous issues, preserving the original shape of the coin and the motifs strongly rooted in Maltese culture. However, the artist enriches the composition with additional symbolism and depth of message. On the obverse, the monumental ox's head is surrounded by dynamic wavy lines reminiscent of gusts of wind. This subtle yet expressive detail gives the whole piece energy, while bringing out the natural power, stability and dignity of the depicted animal.

This edition is not only an example of minting craftsmanship, but also a manifesto of concern for Malta's environmental heritage. It is a tribute to species that have co-created the local ecosystem for generations and today require special attention and protection. The refined 2025 Malta Maltese Ox 10 Euro 2 oz Silver BU High Relief coin, struck in impressive high relief, was produced in a limited run of just 500 pieces. Each piece was secured in a lens cap and housed in an elegant wooden display, creating a striking, prestigious presentation. This is a unique offering for both discerning collectors and numismatic enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of art, tradition and the message of conservation.
