Sealandic Stamps

After a new stamp was acquired from Spain yesterday, I have decided to place a few of the stamps from the collection on this site. While the collection does include some of the earliest stamps from 1969, I have decided to include the 1977 Sailing Ships set as well as the new Spanish stamp from Inmonaranja, the estate agents attempting to transfer Sealand.

Firstly, here's a scan of the 1977 stamps. When bought, the 90c and SX$1 stamps were removed from the other stamps. Sealand has repeatedly used famous and historical sailing ships as a theme for its stamps and even once for a coin.



Again, the Sealandic coat of arms has been used as a theme for the 80c stamp. The next image shows the removed stamps.



The 90c stamp shows Prince Roy of Sealand, the founder and current head of state of the Principality of Sealand. His wife Princess Joan of Sealand is shown on the SX$1 stamp. Interestingly, Sealandic stamps have been successfully used for postage to various countries, mainly Belgium, without the use of foreign stamps. Therefore it has been proven that Sealandic stamps can be used for postage.

The final stamp I shall place on this site is not Sealandic itself, but it represents an event in Sealand's more recent history - and that is Inmonaranja intention to transfer Sealand.



This Spanish stamp can be used within Spain. It shows the Sealandic coat of arms along with the logo of Inmonaranja. This is also the only known example of a foreign stamp displaying anything Sealandic on it, and the estate agent's website can be clearly seen upon the stamp.

This is the first post on Sealandic stamps, yet there are more in the collection and it is likely that more stamps will be shown on this site in the future.
