The Two Penny Blue was primarily used for heavier letters and for mail sent to certain overseas destinations. While the Penny Black was used for letters weighing up to half an ounce, the Two Penny Blue covered the rate for letters weighing between half an ounce and one ounce.

The obverse of the 2024 Proof Gibraltar Silver One Crown Two Pence Blue features a bust of King Charles III. Many Commonwealth Nations are updating their currency with Charles III’s portrait, replacing Queen Elizabeth II. Charles III, Elizabeth II’s eldest child, is shown in left-profile relief without a crown.

The reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Proof Silver One Crown Two Pence Blue Coin replicates the Two Penny Blue stamp. The original stamp displayed a profile of Queen Victoria, based on a sketch by Henry Corbould from a medal by William Wyon. The stamp was printed in blue ink, with “POSTAGE” at the top and “TWO PENCE” at the bottom. All these details are faithfully replicated here.
