| Aanvullende informatie |
Gibraltar has issued commemorative crowns prolifically since the 1990s, targeting the collector market rather than circulation, and this Brontë piece fits squarely in that program. The sisters — Charlotte, Emily, and Anne — spent virtually their entire lives in Haworth, Yorkshire, publishing their landmark novels in 1847 under the male pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, partly because their publisher, Smith, Elder & Co., had returned Charlotte's earlier manuscript with a note suggesting a novel with more action might sell.
KM#969 is one of several literary-themed issues Gibraltar produced that year.
