1956 Olympic Stamp
Fencing
Dominican Republic, Gillian Sheen
50 Stamps
Mint, never hinged (MNH)
Collectible sheet of vintage postage stamps from the Dominican Republic, commemorating the Melbourne Olympic Games.
The stamps feature the fencer, Gillian Sheen, a British fencer who won gold at the 1956 games.
Gillian Sheen won the individual foil gold medal at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. As a 28-year-old dental surgeon at the time, she became the first Briton to win an Olympic fencing gold medal. She remains the only British fencer to have won an Olympic gold medal.
The design includes the Dominican Republic text, the denomination, and a depiction of the Union Jack flag.
The Dominican Republic was the first country to portray actual Olympic medalists on sets of stamps that they issued following the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.
These are considered semi-postal stamps, often issued to raise funds for specific events or causes.
