Having hosted international sport for more than 130 years, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is considered a cornerstone of Sydney's rich sporting culture. From humble beginnings as a garden and cricket ground granted to the British Army in the mid-19th century, the SCG, which adopted its name in 1898, has particularly close affinity with cricket, having been the home ground of New South Wales domestic cricket since 1878.Its stands recognise some of the state's highest sporting achievers - such as Bradman, Churchill and Messenger - while a panoply of statues, including of Richie Benaud, Reg Gasnier, Johnny Warren and Paul Roos, capture the breadth of Australian sport the SCG has hosted over the decades. The Sports Stadiums SCG medallion cover is a highly collectable issue, featuring a full cover envelope with the 2019 $1 Commemorative stamp and and insert featuring the 60mm medallion.
This Limited Edition Medallion and Stamp Cover features a commemorative $1 Australia Post stamp and is postmarked first day of issue 4 June 2019, Sydney NSW 2000.
