About the stamp
The Queen came to
the throne on February 6, 1952. Her coronation took place on June 2, 1953.
Her Majesty
celebrated her Silver Jubilee (25 years) in 1977 and her Golden Jubilee (50
years) in 2002.
A Diamond Jubilee
is a rare milestone. Queen Elizabeth II is only the second British Monarch to
reign for 60 years. Her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria—who celebrated
her Diamond Jubilee in 1897—was the first.
