Description

A silver coin honouring the artist’s genius
A unique tribute to the timeless vision of the Catalan master of architecture
Official issue prepared in cooperation with the Central Bank of Malta
Gaudí belongs to the rare circle of creators who gave architecture a language
entirely their own — instantly recognizable and impossible to imitate.
His works unite organic forms, bold structural solutions, and ornamentation
inspired by nature, with the Sagrada Família remaining the most iconic expression
of this vision. The monumental basilica, with its soaring towers, is featured in the design
of our coin. The composition is enriched with vibrant mosaic motifs, so characteristic
of the Catalan master’s aesthetic. The use of relief, a mirror-like finish, laser frosting,
and shimmering UV printing enhances the richness of texture and light, capturing
the extraordinary rhythm of Gaudí’s architecture in a noble collector’s form.
