Stamps & collectibles
Changes...
Royal Mail Stamps & Collectibles performs a small but unique role producing stamps that capture, commemorate and celebrate the nation’s events and passions. They act as a marker in time.
Stamps are more than just pieces of gummed paper for pre-paying postage; they are miniature flags, representing countries all over the world. A country’s stamps make a statement about where they have come from and also an impression on whoever receives them. Treasured by many – from commoners to Kings – stamps are possibly the most widely collected item in the world.
“Designs in connection with postage stamps and coinage may be described, I think, as the silent ambassadors on national taste.” WB Yeats
Beyond the stamp issues, Stamps & Collectibles produces a range of established stamp products as well as offering souvenirs, collectibles and contemporary gifts.
