Created by the World's
Finest Engravers
For more than 30 years, the Hallmark group has worked with post
offices around the world to recreate their most valuable and
important stamps as engraved gold plated, solid silver ingots.
The 'Pride of India' collection is the latest addition to the
international scene, and celebrates the unique culture and history of
the world's greatest democracy, and the emergence of India as a world
power.
To ensure the highest quality, each precious image has been sculpted
by the world's finest artists and minted by Swiss craftsmen. Pure
silver ingots (Swiss .999) are placed in a huge 360 ton minting press
and struck with massive pressure to bring out every tiny details of
the original design. Perforations are precision diamond cut, and each
stamp ingot is layered with pure 24-carat gold to create a perfect
golden masterpiece.
