自己的作品.From Malta's constitution...
The George Cross medal referenced in the constitution currently resides in Malta's National War Museum. See w:Award of the George Cross to Malta. The specifications for the flag are documented in an official government document titled Graphical Specifications for the National Flag of Malta. Publication date is 2008. The government specification document suffers from an extreme lack of quality:
Proof that the background of the George Cross should be coloured grey instead of white is provided in a 2022 government contract with Zaffarese Signs + Display Ltd. The contract reads
Unfortunately the contract does not provide RGB or Pantone colour codes to use for silver gray. More notes on the 2020 procurement contract:
Reading between the lines, this looks like an unofficial acknowledgement that the official specifications are flawed and the flag manufacturer is free to adjust the dimensions as it sees fit. Britannica, claims there should be two shades of grey; the implication is that the black colour used to be a dark shade of gray. Indeed, the 2012 London Olympic manual shows two shades of grey (Pantone 430C & 432C) with no black. By looking at photographs of assorted George Cross medals , it is clear that the medals comes in two varieties. Let's call them "type 1" and "type 2" for lack of better terminology.
The difference is normally subtle, but when when a thick red fimbriation has to be drawn around the medal, the difference becomes very noticeable. Malta's 1942 George Cross medal is a type 2 medal. Therefore the red fimbriation needs to follow the outer edge each letter G without leaving a gap. This path, as it brushes past each letter G, can be approximated with an elliptical arc or a Bézier curve curve. On some flag images, (including the drawing in the contract referenced above), the fimbriation is drawn with circular arcs that match a type 1 cross. This should probably be considered to be an error. Note also that the flag shown at Vexilla Mundi manages to make the red fimbriation follow a true circular path along the outside of the letter G. This is only possible because the letter G on the Vexilla Mundi drawings has been heavily distorted. On all real George Cross medals, the object that sits at the bottom of the disc containing the FOR GALLANTRY inscription is presumed to be a five petal Tudor rose. On some drawings, flags, and carvings, the rose is replaced with one of:
