Centenary of the first performance of Malta’s National Anthem

Two different €3 portrait stamps in one miniature sheet commemorate the anthem’s lyricist and composer.

2 stamp records · €3.00 / €3.00

Ordinary basic design/value types, including distinct miniature-sheet stamps. Repeated stamps in packs, booklets and sheet surrounds, personalised non-postal labels, unchanged reprints, errors and minor varieties are excluded. This is not an exhaustive specialist-variety claim.

Research notes: The postal-administration account dates the first public performance to 27 December 1922. The miniature sheet contains two €3 stamps, not one €6 stamp.
