Issued by Great Britain in 1966, this vibrant 6d commemorative celebrates the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, depicting a stylized Norman longship inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry. Designed with striking purples, greens, and blues, the stamp features William’s fleet sailing toward England, with Queen Elizabeth II’s silhouette in gold at the upper right. Printed by Harrison & Sons Ltd, this issue is prized for its bold medieval aesthetic and historical significance. A strong addition for collectors of British history, military events, and tapestry-inspired philately.
