Issue date 10 September 2018 

To commemorate the Nineties period, Correos Spain has issued a special odd shaped miniature sheets with odd shaped stamps featuring the memento of the events that shaped the history of humanity.

One stamp commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall in the previous decade with the economic, monetary and social reunification of Germany beginning in 1990.

Another stamp commemorates the collapse of the USSR, the dissolution of the largest socialist state in the world, which also marked the end of the Cold War.

Spain, along with other European countries, reached an agreement for creating a single European currency. A stamp with the image of a 100 Euro note commemorates this event.

Two large events put Spain in the global spotlight, both in terms of culture and sport. The Olympic Games in Barcelona and the Universal Exposition of Seville changed the international image of our country forever. A stamp with the logos of both events makes up one of this issue’s stamps.

The miniature sheet also features the Pixar movie Toy Story phrase “To infinity and beyond”.
