    e eu ro c o i n s 1 unity an d d i v e r s i t The euro, our currency y A symbol for the European currency e euro symbol was created by the European Commission. e design had to satisfy three simple criteria: ADF and BCDE • to be a highly recognisable symbol of Europe, intersect at D • to have a visual link with existing well-known currency symbols, and • to be aesthetically pleasing and easy to write by hand. Some thirty drafts were drawn up internally. Of these, ten were put to the test of approval by the BCDE, DH and IJ general public. Two designs emerged from the are parallel scale survey well ahead of the rest. It was from these two BCDE intersects that the President of the Commission at the time, at C Jacques Santer, and the European Commissioner with responsibility for the euro, Yves-ibault de Silguy, Euro symbol: geometric construction made their final choice. Jacques Santer and Yves-ibault de Silguy e final choice, the symbol €, was inspired by the letter epsilon, harking back to classical times and the cradle of European civilisation. e symbol also refers to the first letter of the word “Europe”. e two parallel lines indicate the stability of the euro, as they do in the symbol of the dollar and the yen. e official abbreviation for the euro is EUR. © European Communities, 2008 e eu ro c o i n s 2 unity an d d i v e r s i t The euro, our currency y Two sides of a coin – designing the European side e euro coins are produced by the euro area countries themselves, unlike the banknotes which are printed by the ECB.

  • Pangs of Nascent Nationalism from the Nationless State?

Pangsofnascentnationalismfromthe nationless state? Euro coins and undocumented migrants in Malta since 2004n GODFREY BALDACCHINO University of Prince Edward Island, Canada and Visiting Professor, University of Malta, Malta ABSTRACT. This paper examines recent manifestations of the emergence of national identity amongst the citizens of Malta, now the smallest member state of the European Union. In this search, discrete events and ‘things’ are examined as symbolic para- phernalia, empirical phenomena that provide insights to overarching narratives about identity, nationalism and integration. The discussion and eventual decision on the choice of euro coin faces in Malta is proposed as one that illustrates a process of ‘nascent nationalism’. Meanwhile, the arrival of boatloads of undocumented migrants on Malta’s shores has also encouraged the evolution of a secular, national character in Malta. Such episodes, and others, ultimately reflect a need for symbols of national unity that remain largely absent in this ‘nationless state’ which continues to be gripped by a bipolar partisanship that spares almost no one. KEYWORDS: euro coins; European Union; Malta; nationalism; nationless state; undocumented migrants Scene-setting: there are two sides to the coin The choice of stylised bridges to grace the reverse side of the euro notes, now the currency of 400 million Europeans, should not surprise us. The European Union (EU) is a grand project which speaks ambitiously to both integration n An earlier draft of this paper was prepared for a workshop titled: ‘EU–Civil Society Relations: The Impact of the EU on National Movements and National Identity’, organised by the Department of Politics at the University of Strathclyde and held at Ross Priory, Loch Lomond, Scotland, on 23–25 April 2007.
