The Isle of Man issued a 25p stamp on 14 November 1973 to commemorate the wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips. The stamp is catalogued as SG41, and a first day cover was issued.[1]

Production details
The stamp was designed by A. Larkins and printed by De La Rue using lithography. It is multicoloured, with perforation 13½.[1]
The catalogue records sheets of 50 stamps. Plate numbers are 1A and 1B (each × 4). The imprint is in the right-hand corner of the bottom margin.[1]
Sales and withdrawal
The catalogue records 400,813 sold for the 25p stamp. This is the stamp quantity shown in the details table, rather than a quantity of first day covers.[1]
