Description: This definitive issue represents the halfpenny denomination released by Malta while under British colonial administration. It is printed using typography or line engraving in a uniform green shade, featuring a dual-subject composition framed by a fine rectangular border. The top right corner contains a circular vignette displaying the profile of King George V facing left. Balanced on the bottom left is the crowned shield of Malta adorned with an olive wreath, while the vertically stacked name "MALTA" sits adjacent to the portrait. The base explicitly marks the dual utility inscription "POSTAGE & REVENUE" introduced for this specific series iteration.
Circa: 1930s
Condition: Used
Notes:
Versions of this halfpenny design printed between 1926 and 1928 initially bore a simple "POSTAGE" bottom inscription rather than "POSTAGE & REVENUE".
