The design is credited to John Hobson Nicholson and the portrait to Dorothy Wilding Ltd.. Harrison and Sons printed the stamps by photogravure. Perforation is 15 × 14, and the sheet format is 240 stamps (12 × 20).[2] TThe stamp has the Multiple Crowns watermark, consisting of repeated images of St. Edward's Crown.[1]
The catalogue identifies 17 May 1963 as the date of issue in Douglas and states that release in London followed later. It records 1,080,000 stamps sold on chalk-surfaced paper, included within the combined ordinary 3d sales total.[2]
Although issued as regional stamps, they were initially valid for postage throughout the United Kingdom. This stamp ceased to be valid for postage on 1 March 1972, when Isle of Man SG 1–7 were invalidated alongside other British pre-decimal stamps.[2]
