At one point on Friday, clocks and calendars will give a combined consecutive numerical reading of 12:34:56 07/08/09, which will not be recorded again before the lapse of another 100 years.

To mark this unique event, the Philatelic Bureau of Maltapost will be issuing a special commemorative cover entitled Once In A Lifetime, which will be on sale from August 7 from all Maltapost branches.

It can also be ordered by mail from the Philatelic Bureau, Maltapost, 305, Qormi Road, Marsa MTP 1001, via telephone at 2596 1749 or via e-mail at philately@maltapost.com. Philatelists and collectors are advised to book in advance.
