The Royal Mail is set to release three new definitive stamps on March 26, just ahead of the international postage rate changes scheduled for April 7. These stamps feature the portrait of King Charles III against vibrant colored backgrounds, and each design includes a scannable barcode and a simulated wavy-line die cut, appealing to both collectors and those interested in innovative design.
The new stamps include a £3.60 stamp for standard international letters, a £3.80 stamp for Europe, and a £4.60 stamp for international destinations outside Europe. All stamps are self-adhesive, printed by Cartor Security Printers using high-quality gravure techniques. They also come with special features including a presentation pack with detailed information about the king's portrait and first-day covers with collectible postmarks from historic locations.
Collectors looking to add these new stamps to their collections can purchase them directly from Royal Mail’s website, or contact Royal Mail for more details. Keep an eye on the latest releases to enrich your stamp collection.
