This issue commemorates the 310th anniversary of the Acts of Union in 1707. In the previous year, England and Scotland signed the Treaty of Union to unite the two kingdoms in the following year. The 1707 Acts of Union, passed by the English and Scottish Parliaments, created a single Parliament in London for a new United Kingdom of Great Britain. The stamp depicts a painting of Queen Anne, the first monarch of the United Kingdom. The painting is by the studio of John Closterman, circa 1702. The flag shown is the Union Flag that flew from 1707 to 1801, when an additional red saltire was added to represent Ireland.

The stamps are imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
