‘The 1930 Penny of Australian philatelics…’
Among Australia’s earliest philatelic commemoratives, and a rarity of international standing, the Sydney Harbour Bridge Five Shillings stamp (5/-) was launched in 1932 to mark the completion of Australia’s great architectural triumph.
An iconic rarity spawned by the Great Depression, like the 1930 Penny, the 1932 Sydney Harbour Bridge 5/- is one of the most desirable issues in Australian stamp collecting. A high denomination, this key stamp was issued in tiny numbers. Indeed, compared to the Sydney Harbour Bridge Twopence (2d), of which 9,749,680 were printed, the 5/- had a print-run of a mere 72,500!
With so few printed, and so many decades having passed since issue, this iconic Australian stamp is rare in any grade. Too valuable for most people to set aside as a memento, especially during the Great Depression, it is no surprise that the high denomination 1932 Sydney Harbour Bridge 5/- stamp is extremely rare in unused, Mint Unhinged condition – as presented here.
An authentic keepsake of the construction of Australia’s great landmark, do not miss this rare opportunity to own one of Australia’s primary philatelic icons! As a bonus, you’ll also receive Mint Unhinged examples of the 1932 Sydney Harbour Bridge Twopence & Threepence stamps for FREE! Click add to cart now!
