This one’s marks the 65th Anniversary (Sapphire is the gemstone associated with an anniversary of 65 years) of The Accession of The Queen to the throne back in 1952 and here is the official stamp that Royal Mail has issued to mark this momentous occasion.
Appropriately high-end jewels for her maj. A stamp for a fiver – gosh I hope prices don’t go up so I need that one too often!
All very apt and while the event is worthy of a stamp or two, I can’t see many of these £5 stamps actually being used for postage even with the number of heavier packages/items around!
