Latvijas Pasts makes the last new philatelic release this year: two stamps and an envelope in the special Christmas series. The first-day cancellation of the new stamps will take place in Riga post office No. 50 located in the shopping mall Origo, 2 Stacijas laukums, Riga, on December 3, from 7:30 AM to 8 PM.
The new stamps in the Christmas series have been designed by the Estonian artist Indrek Ilves in a very bright style to match the holiday mood. Each stamp has a different denomination and a different print run: the stamp with a denomination of €0.50 is suitable for mailing a regular Class B letter within Latvia and its print run is 1 million copies. The stamp with a denomination of €0.85 can be used for mailing a regular Class A letter to any country outside the European Union and its print run is 200,000. The print run of the special Christmas envelope is 1,500 copies. The new stamps will also be a pleasant surprise for customers who send a lot of greetings, because this year the stamps in the Christmas series will have a self-adhesive base.
Latvijas Pasts launched the Christmas series of stamps in 1994, and so far more than 50 Christmas stamps have been released in the series. After December 3 this year, visitors to the Greeting House of Latvijas Pasts in Dome Square and all Latvijas Pasts post offices will have the opportunity to buy a set of all stamps released in 2015. The Greeting House in Dome Square will be open until December 31.
The new stamps and the special envelope in the Christmas series can be viewed here.
The next new philatelic release is scheduled for January 13, 2016.
Latvijas Pasts would like to remind you that the last mail delivery date before the holidays is December 23, 2015. To make sure that the Christmas mail reaches the addressees on time, Latvijas Pasts urges you not to put off the sending of greetings and gifts to the last minute.
