Yes, finally our first dinosaur stamps! And another first, a nod to concordancy with 3 special cancellations of where the fossils were found!
The stamps comes in a nice strip of 50 sen x 2 and RM 1.50 x 2 featuring:
- 50 sen: Stegodon with an additional special cancellation Kinta Valley Geopark (Geopark Lembah Kinta) available in the Ipoh General Post Office
- 50 sen: Giant Pangolin with an additional special cancellation Niah Cave (Gua Niah) available in the Kuching General Post Office
- RM 1.50: Iguanodon with an additional special cancellation Mount Gagau (Gunung Gagau) available in Kuala Terengganu General Post Office
- RM 1.50: Tiger you can use the same Niah Cave (Gua Niah) cancellation
This is perhaps the most exciting set of concordant cancellations being made available in 3 states, a first for Malaysian Philately. Something that many countries have already done.
Hope for a series 2 since there has been more exciting fossils discovered.
“Survival is a Long Shot” – stay tuned… need to book tickets for the premiere.
Dr Henry, are you coming along?
