Description: The design features a historic scene depicting Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Grand Master of the Order of St. John, entering the fortified city of Mdina in 1530. The title "MALTA" is prominently emblazoned inside an upper border frame, while a lower plaque reads "DE L'ISLE ADAM ENTERING MDINA". A circular medallion on the right houses the portrait of King George VI facing toward the left, topped by a detailed Tudor Crown. Below the portrait sits a specialized geometric frame housing a "2½d" face value denomination. Strikingly overlaying the left vignette is a bold, diagonal red ink overprint that reads "SELF-GOVERNMENT 1947".
