The 65p stamp (Physics Prize) features the first ever hologram to appear on a British stamp.

If tilted the stamp shows electrons orbiting the nucleus of a Boron molecule. Physicist Dennis Gabor won the prize in 1971 for his pioneering work on holograms.

The 40p stamp (Medicine Prize) is the world's first scratch and sniff stamp.

Rubbing the surface releases the scent of eucalyptus.
