1293. 🇯🇪 Jersey Post Commemorates Female Suffrage Centenary.

🇯🇪 Jersey Post is to issue a set of 6 stamps and 2 miniature sheets on 2 October 2018 to commemorate the Centenary of limited female suffrage in Jersey. Jersey issues many stamps but few have any historical significance but this issue notes an important anniversary for the island as well as for The United Kingdom. The designs are truly excellent and are by Hat Trick and the stamps were printed in lithography. Rating:- *****.

  A single stamp has appeared which commemorates the 17th Asian Art Biennale in Bangladesh which seems to have taken place in 2016 and this may be a stamp which was prepared for issue then but has only been issued now to coincide with the 2018 Biennale. Rating:- **.

  A further new issue from Bangladesh is a single stamp which commemorates the launching ceremony of Bangladesh's missile, Bangabandhu-1. Rating:- ***.

  I have also come across a miniature sheet issued presumably last year by Bangladesh Post for the World Stamp Exhibition Bandung 2017 which contains the 4 Flowers stamps issued in 2017. I don't recall seeing this item before. It's quite attractive. Rating:- ****.
