2021 stamps for French Polynesia are small in number. But fans of engraved stamps should be thrilled with the first issue, Magellan’s Voyage. Renowned engraver & designer Yves Beaujard’s work kicks off the year with a beautifully detailed mini sheet.
Alas, no commemorative postmarks are available or FDCs. Bit of a shame, because I think they could make some kick ass designs.
Enjoy the stamps, and drop a note below about your favourites.
