New issues.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Royal Mail

24 November 2022 - Centenary of the discovery of the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun in Egypt by the English archaeologist Howard Carter  - 8 stamps, 1 miniature sheet containing 4 different stamps and I Prestige booklet made up from 4 panes including one pane of 5 Machin Head with barcode stamps sold for £21.95p. Designed by Andy Altman and lithographed by  Cartor and perforated 14 x 14.5. Rating:- ****** (six stars! - a superb collection of designs on a subject of major historical importance commemorating the achievement of an important Briton). I assume this is also an historically notable issue as I expect it will be the last to feature the cameo of the late Queen Elizabeth II. This was certainly a case of leaving the best till last.
