Vatican
City, 30 April 2013
(VIS) – This morning, in the Library of the Vatican Apostolic
Palace, Pope Francis was presented with the stamps issued jointly
between the Vatican City State and Argentina, which are dedicated to
the beginning of his pontificate.
The
four stamps in the set, which reproduce photographic images of the
new pontiff, have the values of: €0.70 (for mail to Italy); €0.85
(Europe); €2.00 (Africa, Asia, the Americas); and €2.50
(Oceania). There will be 250,000 complete series printed.
The
Philatelic and Numismatic Office will issue, along with the stamp
series, a stamp and coin card and an official collector's edition
folder with the four stamps and a postcard of the first page of the
extraordinary edition of the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano,
from 13 March 2013 (the day of the new pontiff's election).
It seems Philatelic and Numismatic Office is not accepting orders for this. Where is it possible to purchase this set of stamps or the official collectors folder?
