longer the one who received the mail had to pay, but the sender could
buy a 'stamp' to pay for sending a message over mail to another person.</p><p>The first stamp did not bear any name of country, as it was issued in the UK only.<br />This
privilege is still valid until today, as the United Kingdom, is the
only country in the world, that has no country name mentioned on it's
stamps.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LS_MNL28WzZhCl7SrT7zVH6jHBXtU31OuV0nNP8ZfrqgU2uicIG53qwb3WzwMxUacjgooYP0HYpItQ5oZhERrC6VHV9WyOGnXn4p6R7GmhXheH9sO3_O3ZGqjmlg7zYB_vmO4_BhnMMAPEceK3z3pUlY2Atpo841JzMKTtFyV8fx0-zeVaCqlGBnmxxc/s1842/GB%200001a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1842" data-original-width="1575" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LS_MNL28WzZhCl7SrT7zVH6jHBXtU31OuV0nNP8ZfrqgU2uicIG53qwb3WzwMxUacjgooYP0HYpItQ5oZhERrC6VHV9WyOGnXn4p6R7GmhXheH9sO3_O3ZGqjmlg7zYB_vmO4_BhnMMAPEceK3z3pUlY2Atpo841JzMKTtFyV8fx0-zeVaCqlGBnmxxc/s320/GB%200001a.jpg" width="274" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1840 Black Penny<br /></td></tr></tbody></table>In the image we see Queen Victoria, designed by Charles Health, after a sketch made by Henry Corbould.

Nowadays, stamps are often printed in sheets of 100 or an equivalent of 100's.

At first his mayor topics were religious paintings and drawings.<br />When he was asked to make some illustrations of the life and work of the labourers in and around the belgian coal mines.<br />He was quite impressed by the hard work of the workers, in such a way that his art became more realistic. The upcoming social movement, to improve the life of the many workers at the end of the 19th century, brought him back to making sculptures. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqgvx-htJJHIjJu2xKbtyqhs8F8AMEQjafZHU_qaKBal6F2PmPTaNVq109NQ2wvYwL4tLcn5wQ0HP3l1zayjYT-GJocWWfGoS8dQqY-g8tqyGY0RqbOx8tUdU7GaJHQ7jA2TeT12SjAMjaokeEgNOcpijncu33H0oWKdqNLZ6KTV6BVR82pQtsueSBJGcI/s1318/Mineur_C._Meunier.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1318" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqgvx-htJJHIjJu2xKbtyqhs8F8AMEQjafZHU_qaKBal6F2PmPTaNVq109NQ2wvYwL4tLcn5wQ0HP3l1zayjYT-GJocWWfGoS8dQqY-g8tqyGY0RqbOx8tUdU7GaJHQ7jA2TeT12SjAMjaokeEgNOcpijncu33H0oWKdqNLZ6KTV6BVR82pQtsueSBJGcI/s320/Mineur_C._Meunier.JPG" width="194" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">the 'miner' by C.

These notes (and all notes from 100 BEF and above) remain exchangable at the national bank of Belgium. 100 BEF = € 2.48.<br />Therefore these notes are still expensive to purchase.

They issued stamps under the name 'Straits Settlements' from 1867 till 1941.</p><p>Now to make it all even more complicated, each of the states (whether federated or unfederated) and the formerly British territories Malacca and Penang (later called Pulau Pinang) kept issuing their own stamps.<br />Mostly for lower denomination, to be used within the state itself (local post).<br /></p><p>to be continued ...<br /></p>rainbowstampsandcoins.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16878010725043128223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257389726156005023.post-85394859381051296732023-07-30T16:07:00.000+02:002023-07-30T16:07:00.709+02:00Currency Today : Azerbaijan 9<p>On this final post on Azerbaijani banknotes, I would like to point at some similarities with the euro currencey.<br /></p><p>First of all is the symbol for the manat currency:<br />₼ is the symbol, derived from the Azerbaijan 'm'.

Already then, the money was 'kopeks and rubles', like in Russia.<br /></p><p>After the independence of 1991, a new currency was introduced, the Manat, devided in 100 <span style="font-weight: 400;">qəpik</span>.<br />The word '<span style="font-weight: 400;">qəpik' (kae-pic) is clearly derived from the Russian word 'kopek'.<br />But also the word manat has surprising roots. The consonants M-N-T/D refer to MoNeT/Da, the Latin word for coin (money).</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where the first Manat-series after the Russian ruble, got the international code AZM (AZerbaijan Manat), the new currency was given the code AYM at first. Since the manat underwent a devaluation (5000 old manat became one new manat), a new code was required. But erroneously this code (AYM) was not correct according the ISO-rules, hence it became AZN in 2006.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since 2005 the new manat is used, and currently two different designs are in use.<br />The first design (2005) was replaced by a 'refurbished' design in 2017. Both versions are still legal tender and the old notes are gradualy replaced by the new ones.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><u>1 manat note: <br /></u></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image below : two versions of the 1 manat note.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
