QazPost announces Kazakhstan’s four-stamp Biosphere Reserves joint issue
Philately NewsQazPost announced on 9 November that it was bringing the Kazakh edition of the Kazakhstan–Romania Biosphere Reserves joint issue into circulation. It is a block of four 800-tenge stamps with a total face value of 3,200 tenge. QazPost gives a print quantity of 12,000 and credits V. Shevchenko with the design. Its stamp shop lists the 189 by 114 mm block under issuer numbers 1569–1572.
The diamond-shaped stamp designs show a western capercaillie, a brown bear, Siberian pine and a chamois. The stamps identify the West Altai and Rodna Mountains reserves. Behind them, the block’s border shows rocky mountain slopes.
Romania’s postal issue was released on 18 September. Romfilatelia and Poșta Română announced four stamps, a perforated block, a first-day envelope and a folder. The 9 November QazPost announcement documents the Kazakh counterpart separately from that earlier Romanian release.
