Issued in 1976 as part of the Europa (CEPT) series, this elegant 25p stamp from the Bailiwick of Guernsey features a finely crafted Christening Cup dated 1797. The silver vessel, with its graceful twin handles, reflects Guernsey’s heritage of silversmith artistry. Designed to celebrate European cooperation through cultural motifs, it beautifully combines local craftsmanship with continental unity. Printed by Courvoisier, the stamp bears Queen Elizabeth II’s royal cipher and exemplifies Guernsey’s early Europa philatelic issues.
