| Additional information |
Fort St. Angelo sits at the tip of Birgu, the fortified peninsula that served as the Knights of St. John's operational headquarters during the Great Siege of 1565. Malta's 1972 specimen issues were struck as the young republic — independent since 1964 — was still building the institutional infrastructure of a sovereign currency. The Central Bank itself had only been established in 1968, making these early specimen pieces part of a very short window of foundational monetary output.
KM# P1 designation confirms this as a pattern or specimen rather than a circulation strike — produced for presentation and archival purposes, not commerce.
