The design of the coin is illustrative and may differ from the final result.

In 1847, two stamps bearing the inscription "POST OFFICE" — One Penny and Two Pence — were issued in Port Louis.

Out of the original 500 copies of each denomination, only 26 or 27 are known to exist today, depending on the source.

Most of them are held in museum and royal collections, which is why they rarely appear on the market.

This silver coin faithfully reproduces the colors and typography of the originals, and its design highlights the status of one of the most coveted themes in the history of philately.
