Malta 2 Euro Commemorative Coin - Coin card - 2015 - Centenary of the first flight from Malta


On 13 February 1915, a Short Type 135 seaplane, carried on HMS Ark Royal, took off from the Grand Harbour for a 35-minute flight. The seaplane, which bore the serial number 136, was piloted by Captain Cecil F Kilner and made the first recorded flight from Malta.

The coin reverse shows the common €2 side while the obverse (national side) depicts a Short Type 135 seaplane in flight over the Grand Harbour with Senglea Point in the background. The coin obverse was designed by Noel Galea Bason.

The coins in the cards, of which only 25,000 were made, bears the mint-mark of the Royal Dutch Mint, where the coins were minted.
