Malta BU 2020

Malta is publishing a series of seven BU sets, the subject of which is the Maltese Prehistoric Monuments. The subject of the BU set of Malta 2020 are the Megalithic temples of Ta 'Skorba. The Ta 'Skorba temples are one of the older temples known to Malta and date from the Ggantija phase, which was around 3600 BCE (BC). These temples are not in good condition because the excavations only took place in 1960. New and better techniques have now been used than those used in earlier excavations, during which a small terracotta female statue was also found. Two types of pottery have been found in the temples, namely grey pottery with little decoration, and red pottery which is more spoon-shaped and contains a red slip layer. The complete series of Maltese 2020 Euro coins is packaged in this beautifully illustrated BU set. As an extra coin, the special 2 Euro Coin 'Ta 'Skorba Temples' is packaged in this series. This series of coins were minted in France, which is indicated by the letter 'F' that can be seen within the lower star of the coins. The edition of this set is only 10,000 copies!
