UkraineDate of Issue: 20th December 2011
two stamps (2.20 & 4.30 UAH)
both stamps are issued in a mini-sheet of 12 stamps (6 of each)
NOTE - Ukrposhta announced a first Europa issue for April/May 2011 but was then cancelled. Hereunder the design of the cancelled issue:
© Alexander and Sergei Kharukthe designers of that canceled issue are Alexander and Sergei Kharuk. They already designed in the past, the 2008 Europa issue and the 50 years Europa CEPT stamps issue in 2006.
I love both stamps (canceled and not) GORGEOUS :D but for me the canceled ones are more beautiful, great and intelligent design. The new ones seems to fit to EUROPA 2012 VISIT.
ReplyDeleteThe cancelled one is good, i wonder why'd they have to cancel it. I love the nature appeal of the stamp and it shows a concern for mother earth. I bet, if they would still produce it in other time, it would be purchased worldwide. For those who loves collecting stamps like me, visit ~ Love Stamp

ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that Ukrposhta haven't informed about the cancelled issue on its official web-site. I didn't know about it until I have looked your page :) Thanks for information and pictures of the cancelled issue.
