Each cover features a foreign stamp and a British stamp.  Concorde was a huge feat of engineering and stands to be the most successful of only two commercial supersonic airliners ever operated worldwide. Each set of 3 will be picked at random from a large selection of covers, therefore covers supplied will not necessarily be those illustrated.

The De La Rue promotional banknote on offer here features a sketch of his famous 'flying machine' invention, which, although never realised, is a testament to the appeal of the study of aviation during the Renaissance era and Da Vinci's own obsession with a man taking to the skies.

HMS Endeavour is featured on the reverse of this stunning silver patina, alongside a map of New Zealand. This was, of course, the ship Captain Cook (then lieutenant) commanded on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771. James Cook was a junior naval officer who was skilled in cartography and mathematics and the voyage was commissioned by King George III. New Zealand was actually discovered during the second part of the voyage, to search the south pacific for the postulated southern continent of Terra Australis. Cook reached New Zealand on 6th October 1769, therefore this year marks the 250th Anniversary. This marked him down in history as being only the second European to reach New Zealand after Abel Tasman in 1642. He climbed the Kaitapeha Peak and sighted the strait which separated the North & South Islands, which had been suggested by Tasman and therefore proved that New Zealand was an Archipelago.

We are offering this pair of Crisp Uncirculated 100 and 50 Rupee banknotes featuring Gandhi smiling, celebrating Gandhi's life and serving as a timeless reminder of his commitment to the ongoing battle for world peace.
