Description
The US Postal Service and the Principality of Monaco jointly issued commemorative stamps on March 24, 1993, in Hollywood, California, and Monaco, to honor Grace Kelly, Academy Award-winning American actress and princess of Monaco.
Princess Grace became the first U.S. actress to appear on a U.S. postage stamp.
The US and Monaco stamps were based on a photograph of Grace Kelly from the film "Country Girl" (1954), the film that won her an Academy Award. The stamps are identical except for the denomination, country name, and inscription.
The 29-cent US stamp inscription reads, "Grace Kelly." Monaco's stamp reads, "Princess Grace," and sold for 5 francs ($1.00 US currency at that time).
This is a reproduction of the original Grace Kelly stamp. It is not an official stamp. For home and/or office decor only.
