🇱🇹 Stamperija -

🇬🇾 Products inscribed Guyana -

2025 - Succession of Pope Leo XIV - 1 sheetlet  containing 12 ‘stamps’ (4 x 3 different designs). This product is offered for sale on the Stamperija internet site but anyone considering spending their money on it should bear in mind that this is an item produced privately by Stamperija on a sheetlet with Guyana personalisable stamps and is unlikely to be recognised by the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) as one of its official products as has happened previously with similar items emanating from Stamperija. Stamperija is not the official philatelic agent for GPOC.As always, with anything emerging from Stamperija, caveat emptor.
