Description: The 1-pound Coronation Street souvenir stamps were produced bearing the postal name of Davaar, a small tidal island off the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll, Scotland. The multi-colored photo vignettes celebrate beloved characters from the legendary serial drama, specifically pairing a profile portrait of the calculating Tanya Pooley with a front-facing depiction of the vulnerable Raquel Wolstenhulme. Framed by deep green and bright magenta borders, each layout includes the modern "Davaar Scotland" header banner at the top, standard £1 face values at the bottom right, and a stylized island emblem on the left. Issued to recognize a milestone anniversary for the broadcast program, these highly stylized portrait plates highlight a unique intersection of pop culture and specialized regional carriage printing.
Circa: 1995
Condition: MNH Presentation pair
Notes:
These philatelic items are classified by enthusiasts as Cinderella stamps, meaning they were produced by a private offshore estate rather than the official UK Royal Mail. While Davaar Island originally operated a genuine, low-volume local post during the 1960s to transport basic mail via a local boatman to the mainland at Campbeltown, later thematic issues from the 1980s and 1990s were created strictly as fantasy collectibles for the global souvenir trade.
