The Halfpenny Yellow is the first postage stamp issued by the Crown Colony of Malta. Depicting Queen Victoria, it was only valid for local postage and it was originally issued on 1 December 1860. It was the only stamp issued by Malta for two and a half decades, and during this period various reprints were made with differences in colour shade, perforation and watermark. When control of Malta's postal service was transferred to the islands' colonial government on 1 January 1885, the stamp was withdrawn and it was replaced by a set of definitive stamps.

  • Halfpenny Yellow (pol. żółta półpensówka) – pierwszy znaczek pocztowy wydany przez Maltę, wówczas kolonię brytyjską. Na znaczku przedstawiona jest królowa Wiktoria. Znaczek był ważny tylko w lokalnym obrocie pocztowym i po raz pierwszy został wydany 1 grudnia 1860. Był to jedyny znaczek wydawany przez Maltę przez dwie i pół dekady i w tym okresie wykonywano dodruki z różnicami w perforacji, znaku wodnym oraz odcieniu koloru. Kiedy 1 stycznia 1885 kontrolę nad maltańskimi usługami pocztowymi przekazano rządowi kolonialnemu wysp, znaczek został wycofany i zastąpiony przez zestaw znaczków definitywnych. (pl)
