These covers are usually produced jointly by the British
Philatelic Bureau (later Royal Mail Stamps or Tallents House),
and the Royal Mint. They are not issued for every issue, but
usually for specially chosen events, and specially when the
subject matter for a stamp issue and for a commemorative coin
coincide.
We do not stock these when they are new, as we normally find that
they trade on the market at less than the original price, once
they appear on the secondary market.
Anything in GREY is out of stock.
"OFFICIAL" ISSUERS
