		Malta	First election of representatives in 1849 1st coin of the Constitutional History series	20001 20002
	Description : The first issue of the five‐part series of coins on constitutional history shows a hand throwing a ballot paper into a ballot box. In the First Peace of Paris in 1814, Malta was granted to the United Kingdom and thus became a British colony. The motif, designed by Ġanni Bonnici, depicts the 1849 election in which the first Maltese members of the Government Council were voted. This body advised the British Governor of Malta. The inscription "MALTA - First elected representatives 1849" (first elected representatives 1849) is depicted in a semicircle at the top right, and the year of issue "2011" at the bottom. The coin was struck without a mint mark by the Royal Dutch mint Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt in Utrecht.
