Elizabeth II - The Tradition Continues

Dulac's design

Edmund Dulac's design for the Coronation issues was the only one featuring a full-face portrait of The Queen. Rumour has it that The Queen was unhappy with this design and was pleased when it was attributed a high value, rather than the 2½d. (2½ pence) originally planned, meaning that the stamp would not circulate as widely
