🇬🇠Ghana -
8 September 2022 (which seems unlikely as that is the day on which The Queen died) - Commemoration of the late Queen Elizabeth II - 2 miniature sheets, one containing 6 stamps and the other a single stamp. The issue includes designs featuring the first President of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Rating:- ***.
🇬🇩 Grenada -
4 November 2022 - Definitives, fish and flowers - 6 stamps. The two highest face values are, alarmingly, EC$100 and EC$500 (currently equivalent to £32.81p and £164.03p respectively). I think the latter is probably the highest face-valued Commonwealth stamp ever.

PNG "definitives"... They really need 10 different K15 (GBP 3,68) stamps?!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Grenada $500 stamp is just a disgrace!
White Knight replies - It really is hard to think why a postal administration would need a $160+ postage stamp - it might be useful for paying postage on an enormous parcel or for use on an ultra-fast Express Mail service but I doubt that they would never be used practically even in those circumstances. And there are no security elements to the stamp as far as can be seen so anyone who wished to forge such a valuable item may not have a great problem in doing so. A few sheets of them would be worth a packet. I suppose the stamp could be a revenue stamp but IGPC does not say so though as we know the information it releases is usually scanty at best.
DeleteIn my comment I should have of course used the £ sign rather than the $ sign
DeleteOut of interest didn't SG say they were no longer going to list stamps with excessive face values. Does anyone know if that's still their policy or not?
ReplyDeleteYes they did say that but I do not kowwvwhether or not that is still the line.
