60th Anniversary of the Queen's Coronation
The 9th April may seem like a rather strange date for the release of Australia's QEII Coronation Diamond Jubilee Commemoratives. The Coronation took place on 2 June! Nevertheless, the stamps - in my humble opinion - are a real winner! Australia Post came up to the plate and hit a home run!!
The issue comprises a set of two stamps. A 60c stamp for postage within Australia, and a $2.60 stamp for International Postage.
The 60c stamp is in landscape format. It depicts the stunning and ornate royal golden carriage...
The $2.40 International stamp is a close-up of the Queen from a portrait with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip...
The mini-sheet, incorporating both stamps, includes the full protrait of the Queen and the Prince...
As usual, Australia Post has released quite a few souvenir items Here are a few...
