New stamps issued for 25th anniversary

The Belize Post Office has released a set of stamps to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Belize’s independence. Making history as the first living Belizean to be featured on the country’s postage is Father of the Nation George Price, whose image appears on a twenty-five cent stamp. The five-piece set also includes a thirty cent stamp depicting the four national symbols of Belize; a sixty cent stamp with the map of Belize; a one dollar stamp portraying Belize’s 1981 independence logo; and a five dollar stamp displaying the original constitution of Belize. All the stamps and first day covers are available for sale to collectors and consumers at post offices countrywide.
