๐ฌ๐ฌ Guernsey Post -
25 July 2024 - ‘Guernsey by day and night’ - 5 x local GY postal rate and 5 x UK rate issued as a pane of 10 different stamps (1 of each stamp) and in 4 different booklets. Designed from photographs by Chris George and Ben Fiore and lithographed by bpost. There are 4/booklets - 10 x GY, 10 x UK, 50 x GY and 50 x UK. The cost of the various items is shown in the illustration below though I assume the cost of the 50 x GY booklet is incorrect and should be £32.50p..
Rating:- ***.
I wonder if there is any significance in Mauritius suddenly starting to call itself the 'Republic of Mauritius' on its stamps.
