NEW Aussie-style Christmas Stamp & Coin Cover
Posted by Blog Team on
The Australian Territory of Christmas Island, named when it was discovered on Christmas Day 1643, is the inspiration behind this year’s Christmas Stamp & Coin Cover.
The vividly illustrated envelope features the Island’s famous red crabs and a red-necked frigatebird playfully portrayed in Santa hats! The crabs also appear in the shape of a Christmas tree on the Australia Post 65c stamp, suitably stamped with a Christmas Island WA 6798 post-mark.
The finishing touch is an uncirculated Australian $1 coin made by The Perth Mint with an equally vibrant illustration of Santa and his gift sack on a tropical beach.
The perfect memento of an Aussie-style Christmas, just 8,000 of these festive Stamp & Coin Covers will be issued.
