King Charles III, 2024 Welsh Country Definitives

Cardiff Castle Definitive cover design with the two Welsh Country Definitive stamps and first day of issue Cardiff postmark 14.11.2024. Date corresponds with the birthday of King Charles III, the former Prince of Wales.

The first Welsh 1st and 2nd Class Definitive stamps to feature the King’s silhouette. The stamp designs featuring Welsh national symbols have been retained from previous country definitive designs. The Welsh Dragon has been forged from Welsh steel, whilst the Leek has been carved from Welsh sycamore. Country Definitives will now be limited to 1st and 2nd Class and no longer include international values.
