SOUTH SUDAN 2024 13th Anniversary of Independence, full set on FDC, First Day Cover. Pay by PayPal only
.On Tuesday 9 July the South Sudan Postal Services released a postage stamp set to celebrate the 13th Anniversary of Independence of the Republic of South Sudan. It is actually the delayed proposed stamp set for the 10th Anniversary of Independence last 2021…
The basic set consists of six stamps depicting domestic birds and wildlife, with face values of 50, 500, 750, 1000, 2000 and 5000 SSP. The 50, 500 and 2000 SSP stamps measure 24 x 33 mm, the 750 and 1000 SSP 33 x 24 mm, and the 5000 SSP 31 x 31 mm. .
The stamps have the following animals depicted on them:
a. 50 SSP stamps: African eagle .
b. 500 SSP stamp: Black crowned crane.
c. 750 SSP: Running frog.
d. 1000 SSP: Nile crocodile.
e. 2000 SSP: Barn owl.
f. 5000 SSP: Leopard turtle.
There is a souvenir sheet combining all individual stamps in one small sheetlet. It measures approx 150 x 100 mm. The stamps on the s/s retain their original sizes.
A full sheet carries 20 stamps. The size of a full sheet for the 50, 500 and 2000 SSP is 108 x 184 mm, and for the 750 and 1000 SSP 178 x 115 mm.
I combine purchases to save on additional postage costs. See my other sales for South Sudan, Uganda and Bhutan.
