British Coins 20 Pence 1982 Queen Elizabeth II The British decimal twenty pence (20p) coin – often pronounced twenty pee – is a unit of currency equaling twenty one-hundredths of a pound sterling. Like the 50 pence coin it is an equilateral curve heptagon. Obverse: Second crowned portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, inscription ELIZABETH II above D. G. REG. F. D. below. (As with all new decimal currency, until 1984 the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin appeared on the obverse, in which the Queen wears the 'Girls of Great Britain and Ireland' Tiara.) Designed by Arnold Machin RA, it had in fact been approved by The Queen as early as June 1964. Like Mary Gillick, Machin avoided the couped portrait - cut off by the neck - which had been usual on coins earlier in the century. The wreath, however, was replaced with the tiara which The Queen had been given as a wedding present from her grandmother, Queen Mary. A modified version of Machin’s portrait has appeared on definitive British postage stamps since 1967 – and as a result it is possibly the most reproduced image in history. Reverse: The original reverse of the coin, designed by William Gardner, and used from 1982 to 2008, is a Crowned Tudor Rose, with the numeral "20" below the rose, and TWENTY PENCE above the rose. The border is raised and the border inscriptions are incuse. Issued from 1982 to 1984. Diameter: 21,40 mm. Weight: 5 gr. Thickness: 1,70 mm. Edge: Plain. Metal: Cupronickel. Mint: London. Mintage: Circulation - 740.815.000. Mint sets - 205.000. Proof - 106.800 (Proofs: silver piedfort in 1982).

1904-10 Scott 28 4c rose & black "Tiger" Federated Malay States Quick History The Malay Peninsula has been under British colonial and protectorate influence since Singapore became a crown colony in 1824. The Straits Settlements colony, consisting of Singapore, Malacca, and Penang, was formed in 1826. The rest of the Peninsula consisted of the sultanate led Malay States, under the administration and protection of the British. This blog post will examine the stamps issued by the Malay States from 1876-1955. The Malay (now Malaysian) Peninsula The Malay States consisted of: The Federated Malay States ( as of 1895)... Negri Sembilan/ Capital Seremban Pahang/ Capital Kuala Lipis Perak/ Capital Taiping Selangor/ Capital Kuala Lumpur Sungei Ujong, an unfederated Malay State, joined Negri Sembilan in 1895 The early stamps of these Malay states consisted of overprinted stamps of the Straits Settlements, and were issued between 1878-1891. Then, stamps were printed for the individual states between 1891-1900. And between 1900-1934, these Federated Malay States all had the same issues. After 1925, they again resumed their own stamp production. ...And the Unfederated Malay States Johore/ Capital Johore Bahru Kedah/ Capital Alor Star Kelantan/ Capital Kota Bharu Perlis/ Capital Kangar Terengganu/ Capital Kuala Trengganu Johore has overprinted stamps from the Straits Settlements (1876-1891), and then issued their own stamps. Kedah, Kelantin, and Terengganu began stamp production between 1910-12. Perlis didn't have a stamp issue until 1949. Then... Malacca (Melaka)/ Capital Malacca Penang/ Capital Georgetown ...formally of the Straits Settlements colony, joined the Malayan Union in 1946. The Malayan Union didn't last long, as independence was in the air, and was soon followed by the Federation of Malaya in 1948, which gave authority back to the Sultans. Since Malacca and Penang were part of the Straits Settlements colony until 1946, one will only find their stamps after 1948. Well, where are the various Malay States? How about if we examine a map? ;-) British Malaya 1908 What is interesting about the 1908 map is how it reflects "philatelic development". All of the "color shaded" states have had stamp issues since at least 1889. The "white" states have not yet had stamp production. Note that the Federated Malay States, a British protectorate, consists of Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, and Selangor. The capital of the Federated Malay States is Kuala Lumpur in Selangor. British Malaya 1922 The 1922 map has the Federated Malay States in gold, the unfederated Malay States in blue, and the Straits Settlements colonies in red. I hope the geographical location of these Sultanates is now better understood. :-) One other historical aspect needs to be addressed..... Japanese occupations 1937-1942 Malaya and Singapore was occupied by Japan from 1942-45. Japan gave its ally Thailand (Siam) control of the States of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu. As the Scott Classic catalogue covers the British Commonwealth era to 1952, I will briefly include this period and the Japanese Occupation stamps. After WW II, the British led Malayan Union of 1946 was changed quickly to the Sultan led Federation of Malaya in 1948. Independence was achieved in 1957. Then, with the addition of Singapore, Sarawak, and North Borneo (State of Sabah), Malaysia was born in 1963. Finally, Singapore exited in 1965. 1940 Scott 127 8c blue & black "Sultan Ibrahim" Johore Into the Deep Blue The 2011 Scott classic Specialized catalogue has, for the Malaya section... •Federated Malay States 1900-1934 regular, 1924-1962 postage due, 1943-44 occupation: has 80 regular, 27 postage due, 20 (Japan) and 6 (Thai) occupation major stamp descriptions. Total = 133 •Johore 1876-1955: 169 major stamp descriptions •Kedah 1912-1955: 96 descriptions •Kelantan 1911-1955: 100 descriptions •Malacca 1948-1952: 46 descriptions •Negri Sembilan 1891-1900; 1935-55: 93 descriptions •Pahang 1889-1899; 1935-55: 94 descriptions •Penang 1948-1952: 52 descriptions •Perak 1878-1900; 1935-1950: 176 descriptions •Perlis 1948-55: 27 descriptions •Selangor 1878-1900; 1935-55: 147 descriptions •Sungei Ujong 1878-1895: 36 descriptions •Trengganu 1910-55: 145 descriptions Total = 1,314 ! That's a lot of stamps! Affordability for the WW classical collector? One may need to eliminate two groups that are rather expensive. •The occupation issues- some 354 stamps. (Not all are expensive, and one may want to collect some. But if one is drawn to these issues, well, then one is a specialist ;-) • The early 1876-1891 overprinted Straits Settlements stamps are rather expensive - some 121 stamps. That leaves 839 stamps. Of those, 377 are CV
1899 Scott 24 4p chocolate "St. Ursula with Sheaf of Lilies" Quick History The British Virgin Islands in the West Indies, southeast of Puerto Rico, was one of the presidencies of the Leeward Islands Colony during the classical era. British Virgin Islands The Leeward Islands issued stamps from 1890-1956 that could be used on any of the islands group. But each presidency (Here, the Virgin Islands) also issued their own stamps valid within their territory. Jost Van Dyke Island The Virgin Islands issued stamps from 1866-1952 during the classical period covered by this blog. The capital is Road Town, and the population was 7,200 circa 1940. Island of Tortola Road Town is located on the "largest" island, Tortola, which is only 12 miles long (20 km), by 3 miles wide (5 km). The other part of the overall Virgin Islands grouping is the U.S. Virgin Islands, formally the Danish West Indies, that was purchased from Denmark by the U.S. in 1917. How did the islands get their name? They were discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage (1493), and named "Santa Ursula y las Once Mil Virgenes", in honor of St. Ursula and her 11,000 Virgins! The English wrested control of the islands from the Dutch by 1680. Sugar cane was introduced, and African slaves were brought in to work the plantations. Today, 83% of the population has African roots. English Creole is the everyday language. The British Virgin Islands finally gained separate colony status in 1960, and became autonomous in 1967. The inhabitants are considered British Overseas Territories citizens. 1921 Scott 47 1/2p green "George V" Die II; Wmk 4 Into the Deep Blue The 2014 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 Catalogue has, for Virgin Islands 1866-1952, 113 major descriptive numbers. Of those, 43 are CV
