Britannia: £10
Stamp Type:
Postmark:
London, Paquebot - Posted at Sea,
CDS Postmark
Notes:
In 1993 Royal Mail issued their first (and only) £10 postage stamp. Because of the cost many collectors ignored this issue which has made these first day covers much scarcer than normal. This particular cover has a beautiful 'die-stamped' illustration of Windsor Castle with the rare PAQUEBOT (Posted at Sea) postmark - very appropriate for the Britannia theme. The stamp was printed with several additional security features including silver stars and braille.
