On 20 August, MaltaPost will issue a miniature sheet in a joint issue with Curaçao
featuring ‘Harbours’ as a common theme between the two Islands. Malta and Curaçao
are small islands of which harbours characterise the landscape of each country as
through time, both had to defend themselves from those who sought to conquer their
islands. The Schottegat Harbour is the motif of Curacao’s miniature sheet whilst the
Grand Harbour is depicted on the Maltese miniature sheet.
The Malta issue is limited to 20,000 numbered sheets bearing face value of €4.51. The
miniature sheet measures 120mm x 80mm, while the stamp measures 41mm x 30.5mm.
The stamp has a perforation of 13.9 x 14.0 (comb.) bearing the Maltese Crosses
watermark and will be available in a miniature sheet.
The miniature sheet Malta – Curaçao will be available as from Tuesday 20 August 2013
from all Post Offices in Malta and Gozo and the Philatelic Bureau. The miniature sheet
Curaçao – Malta will be available from the Philatelic Bureau only. Orders may be placed
