Mediterranean Majesty: The 1967 Malta One Pound
Acquire a premier specimen of Maltese currency history. Issued by the Central Bank of Malta following the Central Bank of Malta Act of 1967, this note represents the transitional period of Malta's financial sovereignty. It features the iconic "Young Head" portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered with the masterful precision of Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co.
Historic & Design Highlights:

-
Reverse (Back): Showcases a panoramic engraving of Grand Harbour, Valletta. The detailed scene captures the industrial and maritime essence of the historic Mediterranean port, including the dry docks and fortifications.

Collector's Perspective: Malta notes from the 1960s are notoriously difficult to find in Gem condition due to the high humidity of the island region, which often led to foxing or paper softening. Finding an A/1 prefix note with a sub-500 serial number in a 65 EPQ holder makes this an institutional-grade piece for any serious Commonwealth or Queen Elizabeth II collection.
