New Irish 2-coin PNC, Punt and Euro

0john0

I just got this in the mail from the Irish An Post (central post office) and I really like it. I love the juxtaposition of the two coins the two stamps AND the two postmarks, each from their respective periods, Decimal and Euro. Notice that the bird on the stamps is the same Blackbird (Turdud merula).

The Decimal postmark is from December 31, 2001 and it was restamped (presumably) on January 1, 2002 with the new Euro stamp and postmark. I think that is really neat.



Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the comments. I think PNCs can be nice, special-issue insights to a culture.
