United Kingdom


GB-627530

1952-1992 Fortieth Anniversary of the Accession

This is an awesome card.  

First, it is a card of Queen Elizabeth II.  

Second, it appears to be from 1992, which meant that this card was 23 years old by the time I got it in 2015.

Thirdly, it is a Maxicard.  Maxicards are postcards with a stamp of the same image as the card (or a related image) and cancellation.  The stamp here on this card was canceled on the first day of issue, February 6, 1992 in Truro, Cornwall.  

The sender had purchased a bunch of unused postcards at a charity shop and saw that I like royalty cards and sent it to me!  What a great find!
