(The Children's stamp issue)

Aesops Fables The Hare and the Tortoise

Adhesive Stamps

Unofficial FDC

For the very first time since 1965 the Cyprus Post Office have not released an Official First Day Cover for this particular issue - probably because of the type of stamp. The stamps are adhesive stamps in a booklet format.

First day covers are produced by machines and therefore must have encountered difficulties with these "sticker" type stamps. As a general rule, the Cyprus Post Office release between 8,000 - 9,000 First Day Covers!

Based on this information, Cyprus Stamps website have produced their very own Unofficial First Day Cover envelopes and we expect these to become very rare, so grab them while you can!

Only a very limited supply is available.

This is the last one we have to offer

The stamps are described as "adhesive" and a set comprises of 5 single stamps, each with a value of €0,34c. The set is produced in booklet form.
