Stamps were created to standardize rates and simplify prepayment for postage. The Penny Black, known as the first-ever adhesive postage stamp, has a rich history.

Following British tradition, his left-profile relief is depicted. Queen Elizabeth II’s right-profile relief during her reign means King Charles III is shown in left-profile relief. **Reverse** On the reverse, you will see a replication of the 1841 Penny Red stamp design. This design closely follows the original Penny Black, showcasing Queen Victoria in left-profile relief with the inscriptions POSTAGE and ONE PENNY. **History** The postal reform in the UK during the late 1830s, led by Rowland Hill, introduced the concept of uniform penny postage rates and prepayment using adhesive stamps. The first step was the release of the Penny Black on May 1, 1840. The Penny Red was launched in February 1841, just nine months after the Penny Black. The Penny Red retained much of the Penny Black’s design, including the profile of Queen Victoria. The main difference was the change in color from black to red-brown. **Ordering** For assistance, contact BGASC customer service at 888-992-4272.
