King Charles III First Issue of Christmas 1st Class Stamps 2023

These wonderful first class Christmas stamps are the very first Royal Mail Christmas issue to carry the head of King Charles III after his ascension in 2022. Illustrated by Yorkshire artist Tom Duxbury, they have that beautiful wood block inspired style he is known for, with a warm traditional feel that looks like something from an old carol book. The scene he created for the first class stamp gently depicts Mary holding the newborn child under a star lit sky, with a calm tree line and distant mountains in the background. It has that peaceful glow that suits the line printed on it, “All is calm, all is bright”.

Your fifty stamps come inside an official Royal Mail employees Christmas card, which gives the set a simple authentic touch. A lovely item for collectors and anyone who enjoys a bit of seasonal postal history.
