This souvenir sheet from Mozambique commemorates the 180th anniversary of the world's first adhesive postage stamp, the Penny Black. The sheet features four stamps, each depicting the iconic profile of Queen Victoria from the original 1840 design, set against a backdrop that includes a larger image of the Penny Black and decorative elements.

Issued in 2020, this sheet honors the 1840 introduction of the Penny Black in Great Britain, a revolutionary development in postal history that standardized postage rates and introduced the concept of pre-payment.
