Issued by the Isle of Man in 1978 as part of the annual Europa (CEPT) series, this 6-pence stamp features a striking depiction of a historic wheel-headed Celtic cross slab, a type of early Christian monument found across the British Isles. The design, created by artist J. H. Nicholson, highlights intricate interlaced patterns and traditional Celtic ornamentation carved into the stone. Printed by Courvoisier, the stamp celebrates the island’s rich archaeological heritage while contributing to the pan-European Europa theme of cultural identity. Its bold orange background and detailed engraving make it a visually appealing collectible for both Europa specialists and Celtic heritage collectors.
