Officially postmarked on 10 September 2026, the First Day Cover captures the moment this special stamp issue was released, making it a distinctive addition to any Isle of Man stamp collection.
Created in partnership with Isle of Man Stamps and Coins, the National Treasures issue brings together six fascinating objects spanning more than 4,000 years. From Bronze Age jewellery and Viking treasures to medieval silver and historic artefacts, each stamp reveals a story about the people and communities who shaped the Island’s history.
The accompanying insert features expert commentary from Allison Fox, Curator of Archaeology at Manx National Heritage, offering further insight into the treasures depicted and the stories behind their discovery.
The issue also marks a significant moment for Manx heritage, with several of the original artefacts returning to the Isle of Man for the National Treasures exhibition, including treasures loaned from the British Museum.
