To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic landing of man on the moon, MaltaPost will be issuing a special miniature stamp

The design of the miniature sheet is by Aidan Cassar and is an artistic rendition of a moon landing as it would or could appear in the present day. MaltaPost explained that “it does not seek to replicate the actual 1969 historical event.”

16,000 miniature sheets will be issued and the stamp measures 49mm x 40.5mm, with a comb perforation of 14.2 x 14.2 and bearing the Maltese Cross watermark.

The miniature sheets measure 120mm x 80mm and were produced by Printex Ltd in the offset process and carry a face value of €2.28.

This philatelic issue will be available from all Post Offices in Malta and Gozo as from this coming Saturday, the 20th of July.

Orders may be placed online at www.maltaphilately.com or by mail from the Philatelic Bureau, MaltaPost p.l.c. 305, Qormi Road, Marsa, MTP 1001; Telephone: 2596 1740, e-mail: info@maltaphilately.com
