Do any coins feature stamps.

Hello All

Do any coins have stamps on them. I also collect stamps, and some of them
have coins as the theme.

Don't know the answer to your question, but I also collect stamps, and
paper money, that feature coins, in my case those coin series I
specialize in. Have stamps and notes that feature among others ancient
Athenian Owls and Alexander the Great coins. Interesting sidelight, I
think.

The UK did a Penny Black, IIRC.

The Penny Black that others have mentioned is the only one I know of. You
may find "encased postage stamps" interesting. They are very rare and quite
expensive.
