Here is the five shillings Seahorse (written as 5/- or 5 shillings and zero pence) with other George V definitives, on a parcel piece, dated 24 July, 1918. It would take 60 of the one penny stamp to equal the value of the five shilling.

This year is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the first folio of William Shakespeare’s plays. For a number of reasons he didn’t want to publish the plays - although a number were pirated, nonetheless six years after his death two of his friends collected 36 of the plays in one folio (folio means ‘large’) volume and thereby preserved them for the future generations. The stamps,here were issued in 1964 on the 400th anniversary of his birth

Embossed 10d (10 pence) brown, Queen Victoria (GB, SG57) first issued in 1848; there are five dies, produced 1848-54, but I can’t determine which these are. The faint vertical lines in the paper are silk threads, a security feature. The other values are a 6d (6 pence) and a 1s (1 shilling)

Up front, this is not mine! But it’s the latest known multiple of the short lived 2 shilling brown issued in 1880. I don’t have a 2 shilling brown, but would like to get one. This pane sold at auction for a lot of cash in 2022. When I was in London I asked the Stanley Gibbons staff about this used on cover: no joy there only about 5 are known, so mega expensive too. Mint is moderately expensive too. So a used single then, eventually
