To honour the life and achievements of Queen Elizabeth II, The Royal Mail issued four commemorative stamps in 2022, featuring portraits of Her Late Majesty.

They featured beautiful black & white images of the Queen throughout her life, taken between 1952 and 1996.

The Queen Elizabeth II stamps were also the first to be approved by King Charles III, which led to an increase in collector demand.

The Westminster Collection issued a limited set of these stamps, postmarked on their first day of issue – 10th November 2022.

Royal Mail Stamps: Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Cover

Featured alongside the stamps was one of the most sought-after coins of recent years, the UK Platinum Jubilee £5 coin.

Just 2,022 of these covers were available to mark the important moment in history. And remember, the one-day-only postmark means no more could ever be produced.

Queen Elizabeth II Stamp & Coin Memorial Set

As well as the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Cover, The Westminster Collection had an extremely limited collection of coins from the 1953 Coronation year, issued alongside the new stamps.

This memorial collection included a complete collection of eight coins, each one struck by The Royal Mint in the year of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953.

At nearly 70 years old, these coins are difficult to find and incredibly sought-after on the secondary market.
