2024 Gibraltar 1-oz Silver Penny Black 3-pc Proof Set

The World’s First Postage Stamps Reimagined As Colorized Silver Coins

Great Britain’s Penny Black stamp was the first postage stamp ever issued in the world. The landmark one-penny stamp was created by Sir Roland Hill in 1840 and featured a profile of Queen Victoria including her delicate crown and a fine filigree on the borders. To pay tribute to this stamp—and the two others that soon followed—London’s prestigious Tower Mint has released a special series of commemorative coins. Here you can get a three-piece set that includes black, red, and blue colorized coins dedicated to the Penny Black, Penny Red and Two-Pence Blue!

Each coin available here was struck in an ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and is 1 Crown legal tender in Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory that sits at the southern point of Spain on the Iberian Peninsula. The Tower Mint is one of the United Kingdom’s leading private mints and the last remaining mint in London. Founded in 1976 by acclaimed sculptor Raphael Maklouf, who is famous for his effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that was featured on many British Commonwealth coins from 1985 to 1997, the Tower Mint is the official striking mint for all of Gibraltar’s circulating and commemorative coins. The coins will also come in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields!

About The Original Stamps

The 1840 PENNY BLACK STAMP was the world’s first adhesive postage stamp to be used in a public postal system. This historic stamp allowed people to mail letters for the flat rate of one penny, regardless of the distance travelled. PENNY RED STAMPS were the main type of postage payment in Great Britain for almost 40 years. First printed in February 1841, its distinct brownish-red color earned notoriety when replacing the Penny Black, just nine months after it had been issued. The Penny Red replaced the Penny Black stamp for one reason: its color. Where the red cancellation mark was difficult to see on a Penny Black, the black cancel was harder still, and the brownish-red color of the Penny Red meant that the black cancel mark was easily visible. The TWO PENCE BLUE STAMP, also known as the Tuppenny Blue, was issued just days after the first Penny Blacks. it was replaced less than a year later by stamps that were judged to be more secure.
