The Wombles — created by Elisabeth Beresford after she misheard her daughter mispronounce "Wimbledon Common" on Boxing Day 1968 — became a genuine cultural phenomenon through the BBC stop-motion series of the 1970s. Tobermory, the group's inventor and engineer, was named after the Scottish island town. Guernsey has issued this piece under a licensing arrangement, a now-common mechanism for smaller Crown Dependencies to generate seigniorage revenue from collectible issues that have no circulation intention whatsoever.
