Description

  • Limited-edition release in the “World’s Most Valuable Stamps” series
  • A faithful replica of one of the rarest stamps in the world
  • Commemorates a philatelic error from 1851

In 1851, a stamp was released that was supposed to be blue — but was printed in the color used for a different denomination. This printing error became one of the greatest philatelic sensations in Europe. Today, stamp from Baden, with its mistaken color, ranks among the rarest and most valuable stamps in the world. The silver coin featuring its image combines historical significance and collector’s value, appealing to those who appreciate precisely captured details and unique stories.
