| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed relief reproduction of the world's first adhesive postage stamp, the 1840 Penny Black, rendered as a rectangular vignette occupying the central field of the coin. The stamp design depicts a left-facing laureate and diademed portrait of Queen Victoria, flanked by engine-turned latticework side panels, with the word POSTAGE at the top of the stamp and ONE PENNY at the base, accompanied by the plate-letter pair E and F. The surrounding coin field is polished and dark, with the peripheral legend reading PENNY BLACK to the left, 150th ANNIVERSARY to the right, 2 CROWN at the bottom, and 150th at the top, all within the broad gold-toned rim. A small mint mark appears beneath the stamp vignette at the lower centre of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Penny Black — issued by Britain's General Post Office on 6 May 1840 — was the world's first adhesive postage stamp used in a public postal system, and this 1990 Isle of Man commemorative marks its 150th anniversary. The Isle of Man Post Office has long traded on philatelic prestige, and this coin sits in that tradition of cross-collecting appeal. At two troy ounces of fine gold, the piece was aimed squarely at the bullion-commemorative market that expanded sharply through the late 1980s.
