These silver partner issues are distinct from the €2 circulation commemoratives with similar subjects. Surface gold or ruthenium is a treatment of the silver coin, not its bulk composition. The edition quantities apply to the listed presentation. The €5 page’s prose repeats the €10/500-piece paragraph, while its own table identifies €5, one ounce and 1,000 pieces. This record uses that denomination-specific table and preserves the discrepancy.
The Maltese series revisits subjects associated with Malta’s natural heritage in contemporary silver collector coins. These partner-mint designs and physical formats are catalogued separately from circulating €2 coins and from the earlier lira issues.
