PHQ Card - British Flowers : Primroses (1979)
PHQ Cards are postcards issued by the British Post Office depicting the designs of theircommemorative stamps. They are generally available to buy in main post offices about two weeks prior to the release of each new set of stamps.
The 'PHQ' stands for Postal Headquarters. All items published by the Post Office are given a number which is prefixed by letters. The first card issued, on 16 May 1973, was numbered PHQ1, and the numbering sequence has continued to the present day.
Stamp Size: 30 x 41 mm
Unfortunately the card has been used as 'stockcard' for mail delivery, hence the stain from sellotape and on the right side, a portion of area was ripped.
