EXHIBIT OF MALTESE NUMISMATICS

According to The Malta Independent on November 11 , “Central
Bank of Malta governor Michael C. Bonello inaugurated a
permanent exhibition of antique coins used in Malta between
350 BC and AD 1855 yesterday. The exhibition, which is mounted
in the foyer of the bank's main premises, contains a
representative selection of coins used in Malta from the
Punic-Roman period to the early British era.

The inauguration was preceded by a lecture on coinage in
Malta delivered by Mr Joseph C. Sammut, a leading Maltese
numismatist, who contributed to the setting up of the

exhibition and has published extensively on this subject.
The lecture was held in collaboration with Heritage Malta
and the Farsons Foundation.

The permanent exhibition includes detailed descriptions of
the coins and an overview of the periods during which these
coins circulated. The exhibition is open free-of-charge to
the public during the bank's office hours, between 8.30am
and 4pm every weekday.”
