Togo has used a different mythodology while issuing stamps for 150 Years of UPU in 2024.
While Togo Republic, joined 7 other African countries to issue a same-design stamp, it also issued a different stamp at its own.
The first stamp in this blogpost was issued by Republic of Togo, along with 7 other nations including Burundi, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Republic, Liberia and Sierra Leone to issue similar design postage stamps to commemorate "150th Anniversary of Universal Postal Union (UPU)" on 9 October 2024. The stamps depict same design with different country flags.

Some critics claim that the UPU stamps from these 8 African nations including Burundi, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Guinea Bissau, Togo, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea Republic have been printed by a company in Europe and have been printed only to rip off the pockets of the collectors and these do not have any philatelic value? What do you think?
