In the 19th century, mailing letters was complicated due to varied postage rates. The United Kingdom simplified this by issuing the first postage stamp with a set value, the Penny Black, which featured an image of Queen Victoria. Now, 2024 Proof Gibraltar One Crown Penny Black 1 oz Silver Coins are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
All 2024 Proof Gibraltar One Crown Penny Black 1 oz Silver Coins are available with proof visuals and colorized detail. The reverse includes black colorization to replicate the original stamp design. These coins feature frosted elements and mirrored backgrounds, each housed in a presentation box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Proof Gibraltar One Crown Penny Black Silver Coin features a portrait of King Charles III. King Charles ascended to the throne in September 2022 after Queen Elizabeth II’s death. He was officially crowned in May 2023, and his portrait now appears on coins across the Commonwealth. Inscriptions on this side read CHARLES III, D.G. REX. F.D., GIBRALTAR, 2024, and 1 CROWN.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2024 Proof One Crown Penny Black 1 oz Silver Coin depicts the original stamp design. The field includes the rectangular portrait of Queen Victoria with “POSTAGE” above and “ONE PENNY” below her image.
History
The Penny Black was originally printed by Perkins, Bacon & Petch on sheets of 240 stamps. Each stamp was individually cut from these sheets. Over 68 million Penny Blacks were printed, but only a small fraction have survived to the present day.
