In addition to the usual product range, two limited edition<br />
commemorative covers are being released. Both feature<br />
replicas of the Baron stamp using gold or silver precious<br />
metals.<br />
As a further mark of this historic occasion, <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Post</strong> is<br />
releasing a new product in conjunction with Royal Mail – a<br />
precious-metal international set featuring two iconic portraits<br />
that have appeared on the stamps of <strong>Australia</strong> and the United<br />
Kingdom during the Queen’s reign.<br />
The Machin Design is perhaps the world’s most reproduced<br />
image and was inspired by the 1870 Penny Black featuring<br />
Queen Victoria. The <strong>Australia</strong> image is one taken by Baron<br />
Sterling Henry Nahum (1906–56).<br />
