The Famous Inscription "The Love of the Maltese and the Voice of Europe confirm these Islands to Great and Invincible Britain, A.D. 1814." But, it seems there was a typo when it was re-cut in 1851.

The Famous Inscription

"The Love of the Maltese and the Voice of Europe confirm these Islands to Great and Invincible Britain, A.D. 1814."
But, it seems there was a typo when it was re-cut in 1851. The last word should be CONFIRMANT (plural).
