Issued by Bermuda in 1978, this commemorative stamp marks the 25th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (1953–1978). The design features a formal portrait of the Queen wearing the Imperial State Crown, symbolizing continuity of the British monarchy and Bermuda’s historical constitutional connection to the Crown. The high-value $1 denomination was primarily intended for heavier or international postal use, making well-preserved mint examples especially desirable. Jubilee and coronation commemoratives from British territories are widely collected for their historical significance and strong thematic appeal in royal collections.
