Description
Penny Blue is the direct successor to the world’s first stamp. Issued in 1840,
it marked a turning point in the history of communication and public postal
services. Its distinctive blue color and the portrait of Queen Victoria quickly became
enduring icons of philately.
“The fact these stamps are still in demand
– more than 180 years since first being issued
– demonstrates their lasting legacy”.
Warwick & Warwick Auction House
One of the most recognizable stamps in the history of philately
A symbol of the birth of modern postal services and global communication
A collector coin inspired by a 19th-century philatelic icon
