This issue celebrates the contribution many women made to the war effort during WWII.
The Prestige Stamp Booklet comprises nineteen stamps - all ten from the stamp issue and the four stamps from the miniature sheet, together with five barcoded Machin Definitives arranged around a label - four panes in total. This is the first prestige stamp booklet to include barcoded definitive stamps.
Cover 4 of the Gold 500 set nears an Edinburgh handstamp and the image is framed by a sumptuous 22ct gold-blocked design.
