The Penny Black is a simple postage stamp that did nothing less than change the entire postal system of the world with its May 1840 introduction. The Penny Black has gone down in history as the first adhesive postage stamp issued and used in a public postal system. The Pobjoy Mint of England has a history of reviving its appearance on commemorative silver coins to mark special anniversary dates. 2020 is no different with a 180th-anniversary release of the design. Now, 2020 5 oz Proof British Penny Black Silver Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Prior to the issue of the Penny Black stamp, the common practice of postage around the world was to charge the recipient a nominal fee upon a letter or parcel’s arrival. The individual recipient would be charged by the sheets and the distance traveled to deliver the shipment. The shift to the Penny Black launched the current era of postage in which the fee is paid upfront by the sender, rather than charged to the receiver at delivery.
More importantly, the Penny Black was the first form of adhesive postage stamping used in the world. The goal was the standardized the cost of mailing letters up to certain rate at a flat fee regardless of how far the letter had to travel. The Penny Black is so-named because of its black background and face value of 1 penny.
Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse of these 2020 5 oz Proof British Penny Black Silver Coins in the exclusive Pobjoy Mint design. This image features the Queen in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. The inscriptions simply identify the nation of issue, date of issue, and the Queen’s name and title.
The great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the Penny Black stamp recreation on the reverse of 2020 5 oz Proof British Penny Black Silver Coins. Queen Victoria was the reigning monarch of England when the Penny Black was introduced and her left-profile bust is captured on the stamp in the same portrait that was in use on circulating denominations in the United Kingdom at that time.
These 2020 5 oz Proof British Penny Black Silver Coins are available with proof visuals that include mirrored backgrounds and frosted reliefs. Each coin has its own black commemorative box for shipping and display, as well as a Certificate of Authenticity.
