St. Vincent – Scott #s 958-59

Description

This commemorative Royal Wedding issue from St. Vincent, Scott #958–959, was released in 1986 to mark the marriage of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson. The set presents contemporary photographic designs rather than engraved or illustrated artwork, reflecting a modern approach to royal commemoratives in the late 20th century.

The issue consists of two se-tenant pairs, each combining related images into cohesive units. One pair features close-up portraits of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson prior to the wedding, while the second pair depicts Prince Andrew in formal attire and a ceremonial scene from the wedding celebrations, including members of the royal family.

The denominations are arranged as follows:

• 60¢ + 60¢ – Portrait pair of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson

• $2 + $2 – Wedding-day and ceremonial images

Royal wedding stamps from St. Vincent are widely collected for their strong visual appeal, clear photographic reproduction, and connection to major British royal events. This issue appeals to collectors of royalty, British Commonwealth, modern topical stamps, and royal weddings.

Both pairs are offered in mint never hinged (MNH) condition, with fresh color, clean margins, and full original gum, making them suitable for high-grade country or topical collections.
