This classic Malta 2d carmine stamp features a finely engraved view of Victoria and the Citadel on the island of Gozo, one of Malta’s most historic fortified hill towns. Issued during the reign of King George VI, it pairs scenic colonial-era landscape art with a bold portrait of the monarch in an ornate crowned medallion. The detailed linework captures both the rugged citadel walls and the clustered town below, making it a favourite among collectors of Malta KGVI period definitives. This issue remains a notable piece of Malta’s pre-independence postal heritage.
