Endangered Wildlife of Malta: Maltese Ox Malta’s natural heritage is rich with rare and historic species, and among its most endangered is the Maltese Ox, known as the Gendus. Once a vital working animal across the islands, this powerful breed played an essential role in agriculture and daily life for centuries. Today, only a few individuals remain, with none fully purebred, making its preservation more important than ever. This beautifully designed collector’s edition from Germania Mint, created by artist Natalia Danysz, honors the strength and legacy of the Maltese Ox through flowing wind motifs and symbolic Maltese elements. By blending tradition, artistry, and conservation awareness, this coin serves as a tribute to Malta’s fragile ecosystems and the need to protect the living symbols of its past.
