Hello, my collection is a treasure of curiosities, I once dreamed of having one of those pieces that are auctioned for incredible prices, but no. Even those that, in my opinion, are rare, were quite common in the philatelic world.
Bee on hive, Spanish email alluding to European integration. C.E.P.T. European Postal Telegraph Community.
The damage to the teeth in the lower right corner decreases its possible value in the philatelic market.
Red fish, like the thousands that swim in the hive looking for the shadow of a friendly whale.
More little red fish, these from Venezuela, where large schools continue to form in search of a niche, and you generate value in English and Spanish.
A blue fish that looks like me and dreams of becoming a dolphin.
Coins, made of some noble metal, represented in these four Spanish stamps, commemorating cities 2,000 years old. And they already had coins.
Two copies that tell us that a few years ago money had more value and in Uruguay thousandths were used, a tenth of a cent, and in South Africa 2 and a half cents were enough for postage.
In Venezuela, where I live, 12 and a half cent coins were used, called Lochas, which were discontinued because they made it difficult for the banks to balance, but the truth is that coins have not been in circulation for many years, much less pennies. Only bills that reached 1,000,000 and although they still circulate, they are treated as if they were 1 Bolívar.
Studying the stamps, I discovered countries that I didn't know and others that give themselves different names than what we call them. La Posta Romana is the post office of Romania and Helvetica is Switzerland.
In my post in Spanish from 4 days ago, I present a stamp from Manama, MANAMA, and it is the capital of a small country in the Persian Gulf.
Philately tells us stories.
I hope you enjoyed this post and sorry for any errors, I write in Spanish in Google Translate.
The stamps and photos are my property, they were taken with a Redmi 9A phone.
