This is the Penny Black.

It’s the world’s first adhesive postage stamp that was ever issued.

First time seeing this ..."MonepennyH" but has anybody else made the connection with the character "Miss Moneypenny" in James Bond?

Nothing on the Internet backs this up, mind you. Wikipedia says "Her name originated from an unfinished novel by Fleming's older brother, Peter Fleming, who abandoned the project after writing 30,000 words."

Still, who's to say that Fleming's brother didn't draw inspiration from the first stamp?
