About this banknote
The Government of Malta issued the 1 shilling banknote in 1943 during World War II. This series was introduced to address wartime economic conditions and the increased demand for smaller denominations in daily transactions.
The front side design features a portrait in the center with inscriptions declaring its value as one shilling. The note is predominantly purple and blue, with detailed guilloche patterns throughout. Pick number 16 is a representative of wartime emergency issues by the colonial authorities in Malta.
