In 2022, the Royal Australian Mint issued a $2 coin decorated with honeybees.
Around 2,400 years earlier, a mint in the kingdom of Macedon had the same idea, creating a silver obol coin with a bee stamped on one side.
Coins have had central role in many communities to enable efficient trade since ancient times. Their durability makes them important time capsules. A bee and honeycomb are shown on the 3 Mils coin, symbolising the fact that honey was used as currency in Ancient Malta.
