Jamaica – Scott #s 295-96

Description

Issued by Jamaica in 1969, this two-stamp commemorative set celebrates the Centenary of the First Jamaican Coinage (1869–1969). Listed as Scott #295–296, the stamps reproduce historic Jamaican coins, showing both obverse and reverse designs associated with Queen Victoria-era coinage.

Each stamp features a vivid, solid-color background that contrasts sharply with the finely rendered coin imagery, giving the set a bold, modern graphic look typical of late-1960s Commonwealth commemoratives. The issue highlights Jamaica’s monetary history and the introduction of locally issued coinage, making it appealing to both numismatic-themed and Caribbean collectors.

Both stamps from the set are present.

Condition: Mint Never Hinged (MNH).
