		Malta	Solidarity and Peace 2nd coin of the from children in solidarity series	20001 20002
	Description : Designed by 12‐year‐old student Katya Muscat and engraved by Noel Galea Bason, the coin depicts ‐ under a hovering dove of peace ‐ two small children holding the flag of Malta between them, with the St George's Cross in the upper left‐hand corner, which was awarded to the entire population of Malta for their courage and bravery during the Italian and German air raids in World War II. The right half of the flag is ‐ following the heraldic rules of tingierung ‐ represented by vertical hatching with the tincture red. At the bottom it reads "Malta" as the issuing country, on the right "2017". The coin was minted by the French mint Monnaie de Paris in Plessac without a mint mark; in Coincard's specimens, the year is flanked on the left by a cornucopia as their mint mark, while a pentagon on the right represents the mint master's mark Yves Sampos.
