01 Stamp series including souvenir sheets

You‘ll receive all commemorative and definitive stamps as well as souvenir sheets issued in Liechtenstein by Liechtensteinische Post.

02 Sheets, miniature sheets and souvenir sheets

All Liechtenstein stamps are available on sheets (max. 20 stamps per sheet). Souvenir sheets or miniature sheets (max. 10 stamps per sheet) are also included in this item.

03 Block of four series

A block of four consists of 4 se-tenant stamps displaying the same motif. Whenever a souvenir sheet or a combination stamp sheet (i.e. with several motifs on the same sheet) is issued you‘ll receive one copy of each instead of a block of four.

04 Stamp series on first day cover / FDC

A first day cover decorated with an art design is issued for each stamp series. The embel­lishment relates to the theme of the stamp series. The cover always features the relevant first day of issue postmark. A first day cover features all the stamps in a particular series (for series consisting of more than four stamps these are spread over more than one envelope).

05 Single stamp on first day cover / FDC-U1

Instead of the entire series being affixed to this first day cover a separate envelope is used for each motif.

06 Block of four on first day cover / FDC-U4

On the FDC-U4 a block of four (meaning 4 se tenant stamps displaying the same motif) is affixed to a separate envelope for each of the motifs in the series.

07 Maximum cards

Maximum cards are postcards with a postage stamp on the front featuring the relevant first day of issue postmark. The motif on the postcard, the postage stamp and the post­mark all relate to the same theme. You‘ll receive a maximum card for each postage stamp in a series.

08 Blackprint series

True collectors love the unusual and attach great importance to quality. To meet these discerning requirements Philatelie Liechtenstein is issuing the stamp series made in a steel engraving / combination print procedure as blackproofs. The meticulous artistry that goes into achieving a perfect engraving becomes particularly evident in blackprints. Blackprints have no postage value and are not perforated.

09 Blackprint sheet series

You‘ll only receive a blackprint sheet series for stamp series issued as miniature sheets (max. 10 postage stamps per sheet). As is the case with the blackprint series, the black­print sheets have no postage value and are not perforated.

10 Postal stationery

Postal stationery refers to postcards or picture postcards and postal envelopes with an imprinted postage stamp.

11 Yearbook

The yearbook contains all of Liechtenstein‘s stamp issues over a whole year. In addition to technical details and background information on postage stamp issues the book also con­tains additional information on Liechtenstein and the designers of its postage stamps. All of the texts have been written in German and English.

12 Blank first day covers

We offer you the opportunity to create your own covers by ordering first day covers without postage stamps or postmarks. For further details please go to the section "Cancellations to order."

13 Stamp fair covers

There is a cover with a special issue cancellation for each stamp fair which Philatelie Liechtenstein attends in an official capacity.
