Malta 2 Euro 2023 'Nicholas Copernicus'. Nicholas Copernicus was an astronomer and mathematician who placed the sun at the centre of the universe, instead of the Earth.

He spoke no fewer than seven languages, including Latin, Greek, Italian, Polish and German. He was born 550 years ago, in the year 1473, which is why the Maltese Bank has decided to issue this special 2 Euro coin. The obverse of the coin depicts Nicholas Copernicus in front of his heliocentric model, in which the sun is positioned centrally in the universe. Furthermore, his name NICOLAUS COPERNICUS (Nicolaas Copernicus), the year of issue, 2023, and the country name, Malta, are shown along with the years 1473-1543.
