The Penny Black (1840) Phygital NFT is an ERC-1155 digital certificate of provenance linked to a specific, authenticated physical stamp. Owning this NFT grants the exclusive right to redeem the physical asset through a defined verification and settlement process.

The Penny Black was the world's first adhesive postage stamp, issued on 6 May 1840 in Great Britain. Plate 1, Position NG places this specimen among the earliest impressions ever produced.

This is not a conceptual NFT. The physical Penny Black already exists, is authenticated, and is held in custody.

This ERC-1155 token serves as the on-chain provenance layer for the physical stamp. It anchors authenticity context and points to off-chain reference documentation.

The NFT is:

• ✅ A digital provenance record linked to this specific Penny Black (1840)
• ✅ An immutable on-chain record anchoring authenticity and documentation
• ✅ A transferable certificate — when sold, all certificate rights pass to the new holder
• ✅ A mechanism granting priority access to off-chain discussions about the physical item (by separate agreement)

The Penny Black Phygital NFT is listed on OpenSea on the Polygon network.

Listed price: 0.13 WETH (Polygon)

Buying the NFT does not automatically transfer the physical stamp. Physical delivery is handled through a separate off-chain redemption process.

This NFT can be freely traded on supported marketplaces. Certificate rights and redemption eligibility transfer automatically to each new on-chain holder.

• ✅ Secondary sales transfer full redemption eligibility to the new holder.
• ✅ Creator royalties apply to resales, subject to marketplace rules.
• ✅ Collectors should keep the NFT in the same wallet used for redemption requests.

Physical delivery is handled entirely off-chain. The current NFT holder initiates the process by contacting the issuer directly.

Step-by-step:

1. Initiate — Contact the issuer with your wallet address and Token ID
2. Verify — Issuer confirms on-chain ownership of Token ID 1
3. Settle — Both parties agree on settlement method and logistics
4. Fulfill — Insured shipping or custody/vaulting option with tracking
5. Complete — The NFT remains permanently as the provenance certificate

Upon verification, the issuer provides:

• 📞 Direct contact via phone
• 📋 Physical proof pack (certificates, scans, authentication documents)

It operates on two levels simultaneously:

• A standalone collectible asset — valuable and tradeable independently
• A reference implementation — demonstrating how physical collectibles integrate into the Philax model
