HomeStamp Collecting
Ever since they were invented, postage stamps have always attracted anyone with a collector's instinct. Malta issued its first stamp in 1860, twenty years after the famous Penny Black. At the time, the Maltese Islands were a British colony, therefore the stamps were better known as Commonwealth Stamps.
The Maltese Stamps feature various aspects of Malta, including its rich history and culture. Many topical sets are also issued, featuring various flora and fauna, which are found in the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, the Maltese stamps are very much sought after by keen collectors around the globe.
The main feature of this web site is the Malta Stamp Catalogue, which further to various technical details, it also includes images of the stamps.
Kindly note that in order to make use of the catalogue search on the left menu, you have to enter a specific year in 4 digit format (e.g. "2000"), otherwise, you will return no search results.
