Issued in 1979, this 12-pence commemorative stamp from Ascension Island honors the centenary of the death of Sir Rowland Hill (1795–1879), the British reformer credited with introducing the world’s first postage stamp, the Penny Black. The design features an image of an earlier 3-shilling King George V definitive of Ascension, symbolizing the island’s philatelic heritage. With Queen Elizabeth II’s royal cypher and a crisp blue background, the issue pays tribute to Hill’s lasting impact on postal systems worldwide. A fitting centenary homage from one of Britain’s most remote territories.
