A new miniature sheet issued by MaltaPost commemorates an important milestone in the country’s history – that of the centenary of the first performance of the national anthem of Malta – L-Innu Malti.
Then known as the Hymn of Malta, it was written in the form of a prayer by Dun Karm Psaila and set to music by Robert Samut.
The stamps within the miniature sheet measure 44 mm x 31mm, with a comb perforation of 13.09 x 14.00 (comb) and bear the Maltese Cross watermark.
The miniature sheet itself measures 120mm x 80mm and was produced in the offset process by Printex Limited. The print run consists of 15,000 miniature sheets with each stamp bearing a value of €3.00.
This Miniature sheet will be available from all Post Offices in Malta and Gozo from Tuesday, the 27th of December.
