Limited edition King Charles stamps up for grabs
Australia Post has released a limited edition stamp collection to celebrate King Charles' 75th birthday.
Two of the stamps will mark the King's birthday on the 14th of November, while the third will commemorate his coronation.
This is the first time the King has featured on an Australia Post stamp since his coronation.
Australia Post said that the special one-off collection “serves as a tribute to his dedicated service, education, and the betterment of society”.
In a media release they also said that "The collection encapsulates the essence of King Charles III's legacy, embodying his continued commitment to tradition and progress."
The first stamp features a black-and-white photo of young King Charles during his journey to Sydney in 1966, where he was greeted by then Prime Minister Harold Holt.
The second one is of the King in 2018 which “showcases His Majesty seated at his desk, symbolising a lifetime of duty and leadership”.
The third picture highlights his coronation as the King is pictured in his crown.
All three limited edition stamps are priced at $1.20 and are now on sale across the country at participating post offices, via mail order on 1800 331 794 and online.
