In August 2008, Malta issued its first commemorative coins denominated in euros, in both silver and gold. These coins make part of the Europa Coin Program. The theme for this year is Cultural Heritage. Both coins feature the Auberge de Castille.[2]

The obverse shows the Auberge de Castille's main door – the prime minister's office while the reverse shows the emblem of Malta.
