1 in stock
This fine 1 shilling stamp from Malta features the iconic “Maltese Girl” motif alongside a portrait of King George VI, engraved in a rich black-grey design. Originally issued during the 1938–44 definitive series, this example bears the historic “SELF-GOVERNMENT 1947” overprint—applied to mark the restoration of local autonomy following the Second World War. Overprinted values from this set are sought after for their political significance and relative scarcity compared to the base issues. The stamp’s strong engraving, crisp portraiture, and traditional Maltese cultural theme make it an attractive and desirable piece for Malta specialists and KGVI collectors alike.
