The stamp reproduces the replica image of the George Cross while the card portrays the picture which was taken during the ceremony of the awarding of the George Cross to Malta in April 1942.
The Postal Card no 32 in series commemorates MaltaPost’s participation in the Europa 2010 stamp design contest. The card carries the imprinted €1.19 stamp from the Set ‘EUROPA 2010 CHILDREN’S BOOKS’ featuring the cover artwork of the book ‘Meta l-Milied ma giex’ written by Clare Azzopardi and illustrated by Mark Scicluna. The card features the two main characters from the popular book ‘Puttinu u Toninu’ created by Dr Philip Farrugia Randon. This set was issued in May 2010. Both cards will be available in mint and cancelled format as from Friday 8th October from the MaltaPost stand at the Maltex Exhibition, all MaltaPost Branches, the Mobile Van and from the Philatelic Bureau.
