SAID (Remy) Malta

SAID (Remy) Malta is a specialist dealer for collectors, based on Cathedral Street in Sliema. Its stock runs to more than 5,000 different items, from Maltese postage stamps and coins to souvenir banknotes, vintage postcards and antique letters. For a visitor who enjoys old paper, coins and philately, it is a useful stop to know about, and the web shop lets you browse before you travel.

The business is listed among the antique shops in Malta on VisitMalta.co.uk. It is a small collecting specialist rather than a general antiques gallery, so it suits people with a defined interest.

Stamps, postal history and paper

The stamps section is organised by reign and period, from Queen Victoria issues of 1860 to 1902 through the Edwardian and Georgian eras, the independence years and the Republic, to Malta's years as an EU member. There are also air mail items, balloon flights, Europa sheetlets, postage dues, maximum cards, miniature sheets, stamp booklets, variety and error stamps and world collections.

Paper collectables include Malta postcards by Modiano, Vincenzo Galea, W. Watson and Tucks, foreign postcards, cigarette packs, gazettes, documents, antique letters and postal history. A Melitensia section stocks books and publications about Malta, such as a signed copy of an 1836 inquiry into poverty in Malta priced at €100.00. History fans who like these items may also enjoy our Knights of Malta guide and the Valletta guide.

Coins, bullion and banknotes

Coin collectors will find Malta coins from 1972 to 2023, euro coins by country and by year, and the full run of two euro commemoratives from 2004 to 2026, including coin cards and coloured designs. British silver crowns, florins, shillings and half crowns sit alongside full and half gold sovereigns, silver ounces, Malta Lombard silver ingots, Roman coins, Knights of Malta coins and world gold coins. Coloured two euro coins start around €7.00.

Souvenir banknotes are a particular strength. The shop lists zero euro notes from dozens of countries, year by year from 2015 to 2026, including new 2026 Malta designs showing vintage buses and the Lower Barrakka Gardens. Prices run from about €3.50 to €9.00 for many notes, with rarer pieces and coin cards higher, for example €39.00 for a 2026 Ireland coin card. There are also graded Malta banknotes and a US dollar souvenir note range.

Who it suits

The shop works for several kinds of buyer. Visitors who want a distinctive souvenir of Malta can look at a Malta souvenir banknote, a Maltese coin or an old postcard of Valletta. Serious philatelists can search by reign and issue. Euro coin collectors can fill gaps in commemorative sets by year and country, and new collectors can start with an album and a few low-priced items.

Each product page carries a stock code, such as the ECC codes used for coin cards, which makes it easy to quote an item when you enquire. Some pages show a last items in stock notice, so scarce pieces can sell out. Because this is a specialist dealer, describing what you collect, your budget and any dates you are visiting helps the business give a useful answer.

Accessories and planning a visit

Collecting accessories include Leuchtturm albums, stockbooks, coin capsules, plastic sleeves, banknote holders and supplement pages for Malta and Sovereign Military Order of Malta issues. The shop also lists watches and jewellery accessories, medals and exonumia, which are tokens and badges, and bullion bars and rounds.

Sliema is easy to reach from Valletta and St Julian's, and our hotels in Sliema and where to stay in Malta pages show places to base yourself. The nearby Agenda Bookshop is another good stop for book lovers, and our things to do in Malta and Malta holidays overview help with the rest of your trip. A UK visitor wondering whether to carry items home can ask about packing and postage when enquiring.
