New issues.
🇰🇳 Issues inscribed either St Kitts And Nevis or St Kitts.
15 December 2023 (miniature sheets) - 26 December 2023 - 40th anniversary of the Independence of St Kitts and Nevis - 4 stamps (inscribed St Kitts) and 3 single-stamp miniature sheets (inscribed St Kitts And Nevis). Lithographed. The basic set includes a $100 value which is the equivalent of £28.90p. Despite the high value I like this set and therefore the rating is ****.
The four stamps and the $5 miniature sheet emphasise the close links between Taiwan and St Kitts and Nevis in the year of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. As previously reported the 4 stamp designs are by local residents of St Kitts and Nevis who won a design competition sponsored by the Taiwanese Embassy in Basseterre. See also Blogs 2390 and 2396.
IGPC has the St Kitts And Nevis sheets listed as Nevis. Or is it maybe some sort of joint issue? I doubt they will start issuing stamps for both islands together.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine lived on St Kitts for a few years. She told me the two islands are practically two separate countries.
WK responding - What you say is of course quite right but here we have three miniature sheets inscribed with the country name of the entire country. So, with these at least, the St Kitts And Nevis entity has reappeared in the stamp album.
