Polish 1966 Dinosaur Commemoratives

Two stamps from the Polish 1966 Dinosaur and Prehistoric Vertebrates series.

Today I'd like to share two early stamps from my collection that I acquired as a boy:

In 1966, Poczta Polska (Poland's postal service) issued one of the year's most vivid and collectable set of commemoratives: The Dinosauar and Prehistoric Vertebrate set! This set consists of nine commemoratives that were released on March 5th of that year and these stamps feature some amazing artwork of dinos and other "less-than-prehistoric" mammals that have left us, such as the wooly mammoth and the Machairodus, or the European sabre-toothed tiger.

These stamps were issued in denominations ranging from 20 groszy to 7.10 złotys.

For you dino lovers out there or collectors of dinosaur stamps, this commemorative set is a must-have for your own stamp collection (if you don't have it already)!
