Unusual Embroidered Stamps from Luxembourg (Letzebuerg) 2025

Unusual and odd-shaped stamps have always been loved by avid stamp collectors. Beautiful unusual stamps like stamps printed on different materials, stamps made from unique materials, etc are always rare in the world of philately.

While Luxembourg is known for issuing unusual stamps from time to time; this time Luxembourg has issued an embroidered stamp made of cloth.   

Luxembourg Letzebuerg 2025 Embroidered Stamp

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of HRH Grand Duke Henri’s accession to the throne.

On 7 October 2000, HRH the Grand Duke was formally sworn in at the Chamber of Deputies, where he took the constitutional oath and pledged to observe the Constitution and the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and to maintain the national independence and integrity of the territory, as well as public and individual liberties.

In his first speech as Grand Duke, he highlighted the fundamental values that characterise social harmony, emphasising that solidarity, justice, tolerance, mutual respect and humanity form the backbone of a civilised society. The promotion of an inclusive society remains one of HRH’s priorities to this day. Shortly after his inauguration, TRH the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess made official visits to France (9-10 October 2000) and Germany (11-12 October 2000) to help maintain the close relations Luxembourg enjoys with these two neighbouring countries. Between April 2001 and June 2002, they travelled through all twelve cantons of Luxembourg in order to get to know the different regions of the country better and, above all, to strengthen their connection with the people of Luxembourg.

HRH the Grand Duke takes a keen interest in a wide range of topics and issues that are important to the Grand Duchy, and he is committed to promoting and conveying the country’s strengths and values around the world. The issues of nature conservation and environmental protection, as well as the health and social benefits of sport, are amongst his priorities.

A Tiny Masterpiece Celebrating Big Friendships: The Singapore-Oman Joint Stamp Issue!

Singapore and Oman released a joint issue stamp on 21st February 2025. I recently came across the Singapore versio of this stamp which is definitely a magnificent piece of miniature art. 

When Two Worlds Meet on a Stamp  

Singapore and Oman officially shook hands in 1985 and the Singapore stamp depicts Muscat Street in Kampong Glam - a vibrant slice of Singapore where Omani influences whisper through the air. Named after Oman’s capital, this street is a living tribute to centuries of trade, cultural swaps, and serious diplomatic relationship.

The face value of the Singapore stamp is 2 SGD (Singapore Dollar).

Why Muscat Street? A Nod to Shared Roots

Back in the day, Omani traders were the key players in Singapore’s bustling port, leaving behind more than just spices—they wove their culture into the city’s fabric.  

The stamp’s design blends Omani motifs with Singapore’s Peranakan flair. 

Fun thought: Next time you mail a letter, imagine it flying from Singapore to Oman - just like those old trade ships, but way faster. 🚀  

Oman Post has also issued a souvenir sheet to mark the occasion. The denomination of Omani souvenir sheet is 1 Omani Rial.

Great Britain 2025 - Myths and Legends Stamps Set

Ever wondered why myths and legends stick around for centuries? 

It’s because they’re way more than just old tales—they’re like a community’s secret superpower! These stories teach us where we come from, what we value, and how to tell right from wrong (think of Aesop’s fables or the epic adventures of heroes like King Arthur). They turn history into something magical, helping us make sense of the world while bonding over shared beliefs. Plus, who doesn’t love a story that makes you go, “Wait, is that really how the mountains were formed?”

But here’s the coolest part: myths and legends aren’t just dusty books - they’re alive. They inspire art, festivals, and even everyday sayings (“Hey, don’t open Pandora’s box!”). When times get tough, these stories remind us, “Hey, heroes faced worse—and still won.” They spark creativity, keep traditions kicking, and let communities say, “This is who we are!” So next time you hear a legend, think of it as a time-traveling life hack, packed with wisdom, wonder, and a whole lot of heart.

On 27 March 2025, Great Britain's Royal Post has issued a set of 8 "1st Class" stamps commemorating different myths and legends of GB. 

The myths and legends depicted on the stamps are as under:-

• Beowulf and Grendel
• Blodeuwedd
• Loch Ness Monster
• Cornish Piskies
• Fionn mac Cumhaill
• Black Shuck
• Grindylow
• Selkie

Have you heard of any of the legends before, especially if you do not live in Great Britain?
