Isle of Man, 1990 One Crown, Coin/Stamp Cover. 50th Anniversary of 'The Penny Black stamp' UNC

£16.00

One Crown, UNC 1990 Isle of Man, Coin/Stamp Cover. The 150th Anniversary of 'The Penny Black stamp'. It is appropriate to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the penny Black - the first adhesive postage stamp - at the international exhibition Stamp World '90 in London, the city where it all began. Philately as known to the modern world is recognised from 1864 under the name which was derived from the Greek; true philately today encompasses many branches and many specialties. The significance to collectors of the first adhesive postage stamp (or label as it was first called) is, however, without parallel and the Isle of Man Post office is proud to offer its contribution to the commemoration of this important philatelic event, with this unique "Pearl Black" UNC coin, developed by the Pobjoy Mint. Struck in Cup-Ni, Crown size 38.60mm. GRADE: UNC, and encapsulated in a First Day Cover, issued by the Isle of Man Post Office & The Pobjoy Mint.
