In the 1840s, the United Kingdom overhauled its postal system and introduced something that many people overlook today: postage stamps. Prior to the introduction of the Penny Black, postal rates and systems were confusing and varied in the United Kingdom. These prepaid stamps changed the way postal codes and charges were done. Right now, 2024 1 oz Proof Gibraltar Silver One Crown Two Pence Blue Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2024 1 oz Proof Gibraltar Silver One Crown Two Pence Blue Coin comes with proof visuals and a colorized reverse field. The reverse features a blue background in honor of the paper color used for the Two Pence Blue, also known as the Two Penny Blue, stamp. The coins are housed in presentation boxes and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The United Kingdom introduced the first two modern postage stamps within days of each other in May 1840. The One Penny-valued stamp was known as the Penny Black, while the Two Pence-valued stamp was known as either the Two Pence Blue or Two Penny Blue.
On the obverse of the 2024 Proof Gibraltar Silver One Crown Two Pence Blue is a bust of His Majesty King Charles III. Commonwealth Nations are increasingly rolling out portraits of Charles III on currency as his effigy replaces that of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth II. Charles III, the eldest child of Elizabeth II, is shown in left-profile relief without a crown on his head.
The reverse side of 2024 1 oz Proof Silver One Crown Two Pence Blue Coins comes with a replication of the Two Penny Blue stamp. The original stamp featured a profile portrait of Queen Victoria, based on a sketch by Henry Corbould, which itself was derived from a medal by William Wyon. The stamp was printed in blue ink, with the words "POSTAGE" at the top and "TWO PENCE" at the bottom. All these visuals have been accurately replicated here.
