In 1840, a brilliant invention changed the way people communicated and ignited a passion that still captivates collectors worldwide. Sir Rowland Hill's creation of the self-adhesive postage stamp made sending letters and parcels more affordable than ever before. Now, you can celebrate the genius, artistry, and craftsmanship behind the Penny Black with a special commemorative gold coin and genuine stamp set.

This set includes an original Penny Black from 1840 and a beautifully crafted 24-carat gold coin that immortalises William Wyon's portrait of Queen Victoria, as seen on the stamp. The year 1840 was significant for the young Queen, who not only appeared on the world's first postage stamp but also married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. To mark the 185th anniversary of the invention that changed the world of communication, and this great royal love story, the 2025 coin features a distinctive mintmark bearing their monogram alongside Raphael Maklouf's sublime portrait of their great-great-great-grandson, King Charles III.

Today, as collectors seek increasingly rare and valuable stamps around the world, the opportunity to own the original stamp that started it all is certainly not one to be missed!
