Easy, peasy. Mdina. Fairly unusual colourway for that style. Its a bit like this one, which is conveniently marked (and not cracked, despite the pictures)

I had a feeling it would be, It was bought with another - normal looking - paperweight that was marked as Mdina, Both at £2.50 each which seemed a bargain to me. Any idea of age?
