Ukrposhta has announced the release of a new series of stamps depicting lighthouses of the Black and Azov Seas, including those located in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea. The collection also includes lighthouses in Mykolaiv and Odesa regions.
This was reported by the company.
The release includes:
The new block of stamps is dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the State Hydrographic Service, an institution that ensures the safety of navigation in Ukraine.
The circulation of the block will be 50,000 copies, and the face value of each stamp is U (corresponding to the tariff for an internal letter of up to 50 g).
To accompany the postal block, Ukrposhta will also issue a 20,000-copy First Day envelope, 10,000 copies of cards and 500 copies of presentation folders.
The First Day stamp will be used for redemption at the Main Post Office in Kyiv (01001).
The official launch of the "Lighthouses of Ukraine" postal block will take place on April 4. Starting from March 31, the stamp block, envelope and art card for the issue are available for pre-order in the Postal Market.
The previous "Lighthouses of Ukraine" block (2010) won a number of international awards. In 2011, the stamp took first place in the 10th Chinese Best Print Competition, and in 2012, the Austrians awarded it sixth place in the WIPA Grand Prix competition.
Earlier, Ukrposhta issued the Trident of Independence stamp for the Day of Dignity and Freedom. And on the Day of the Ukrainian Flag, August 23, a new stamp created by artist Nikita Titov, "Everything will be UA!", was canceled in Kherson, featuring blue and yellow colors in every corner of our indivisible country.
