First Post & Go stamps to feature His Majesty King Charles III

Jersey Post is proud to announce the issue of six new Post & Go stamps featuring the iconic Flag of Jersey, scheduled to be released on the 15^th February 2024.

In 2014, the Flag of Jersey made its first appearance in a Post & Go issue. Ten years later, the Jersey Flag will showcase an updated design featuring the new monarch, His Majesty King Charles III.

Jersey’s flag has had an interesting history. Unofficially, a plain red saltire had been used since at least the 1830s. A 1906 letter by the Bailiff of Jersey, described the flag as 'the red St Andrew's cross on white ground,' stating it was used to signal the neutrality of the Channel Islands during wars between England and France. The crest of Jersey was added in the 1980s to help distinguish it further.

Post & Go, a self-service postage stamp system, was first introduced by the Royal Mail in 2008 and later adopted by Jersey Post as the next evolution of self-adhesive stamps. Since December 2023, the Royal Mail is no longer issuing Post & Go stamps, while Jersey Post aims to continue the annual issues and overprints.

These new Post & Go stamps will be available for various postage needs, including Local Letter 100g, Local Large 100g, UK Letter 100g, UK Large 100g, Europe 100g, and Rest of World 100g.
