| Abstract: | Malta, which began issuing its own stamps 107 years ago, has in all that time had only five £1 stamps. It has been said that there is no need, except for fiscal purposes, for a stamp of such high value. it is true that Malta managed with values of 2s.6d., 5s., and 10s., up to 1922, with the first 5s, value in 1886, and first 2s.6d. and 10s values in 1899. Nevertheless, it is certain that all the £1 values have been used on registered and high value packets and on official, and private, larger packets and parcels; but it must be admitted that many £1 stamps have been seen with purely philatelic cancellations. |
