Portuguese Cork!

PORTUGAL: 1€ CORK STAMP

Issue date:
2007/11 /28

Portugal issued the worlds 1st stamp made from CORK - subset of generic cork tissue, harvested from the Cork Oak tree - with a facial value of 1 Euro.


First Day Cover

Portugal is responsible for half of the world's cork production!

This stamp is a valid way to celebrate a national heritage and big source of income.

Interesting stamp, wouldn't you agree?
