... that the design of the 2018 Melita bullion coins is based on a series of stamps issued almost a century earlier? Source: "The figure of Melita featured on the coins is inspired by that created by the artist Edward Caruana Dingli for a set of postage stamps, which were issued shortly after Malta attained self-government in 1921."
