China 2020 40th National Stamp Popularity Poll Miniature sheet with NFC technology 

Issue date 27 September 2020

China Post has issued its first postage stamp incorporating an NFC (near field communication) chip titled "In Commemoration of the 40th National Stamp Popularity Poll".

The miniature sheet has an ultrathin 120 micrometre NFC chip inserted within it. Stamp Collectors can download a digital app from China Post which can be scanned on any digital device with NFC functionality. By placing their device close to the number "40" that is on the stamp's face, the app will authenticate the stamp and provide information such as its serial number.  It is the world's first postage stamp with a read-write chip (note the words read-write chip - indicating the NFC can be written on with information from the China Post App). The NFC chip incorporated on the Humming Bird Stamp by Caribbean Netherland Post is a read-only NFC Chip.

NFC technology allows for the contactless exchange of data over close distances. Invented during the early 21st century, it has been commonly used around the world in areas such as the mobile payment and anti-counterfeit measure fields. 

Have tried to find the China Post App but have not yet been available to find the link to the stamp for download. However, have tried reading the NFC chip with a third party NFC App available on the Net just to detect the NFC Chip on the miniature sheet.

Video is just to show detection of the NFC chip

You can see the embedded chip when raised the stamp against a light source and you will see the shadow of the embedded NFC chip in the miniature sheet

Tried to check the stamp serials with a Smartphone with NFC detection capability but it gives a message of Error in Reading the NFC chip. I guess I need to find the China Post App.

Austria 2020 - Ski Tip Stamp 

Issue Date 23 October 2020

Austria Post in a tribute to Skiing as a sport has issued an unusual odd-shaped stamp in the form of a ski tip made with a genuine ski coating.

As in the production of actual skis - a thin layer of aluminum-plastic composite was cut out to the shape of a ski tip using a CNC-controlled milling machine. The silvery surface of this aluminum composite was brushed, and when viewed from the side looks like the edges of a ski. Then a special acrylic glue was used to apply the yellow original ski coating, specially adapted in strength for the stamp.

Spain 2020 The 2010 Generation

Issue date 21 September 2020

The Generations series continues with an issue dedicated to the decade running from 2010 to 2019.

A block sheet that brings three new stamps together, dedicated to three of the most significant events of this decade chosen by the Philately Subscribers from many no less significant others.

The first stamp has an image of the King Emeritus, Juan Carlos I and his son King Felipe VI.

This stamp references the historical moment in Spain on 19 July 2014 when Juan Carlos I abdicated in favour of his son who became King Felipe VI of Spain.

The second stamp represents the greatest triumph of the Spanish National Football Team: the World Cup in South Africa. On 11 July 2010, after a tense match against the Netherlands, Spain won the World Cup, which is the reason for this stamp.

In the 26th minute of overtime, Andrés Iniesta scored the winning goal that saw the Spanish Team lift its first World Cup.

The third and final stamp of this block sheet shows Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris engulfed in flames, an image from 15 April 2019. This event has become ingrained in our minds. The whole world watched helplessly as one of France's greatest symbols was lost to the flames.

The block sheet, which has the 1 and 0 embossed, also includes the image of a Spanish flag representing both the succession of the Spanish Crown and the successes of the Spanish football team, which can be seen at the bottom of the sheet together with the coach Vicente del Bosque.

The Eiffel Tower rises above the flames above Notre Dame Cathedral in testament to a moment that France and the rest of the world would like to erase.

Spain 2020 Gastronomy in Extremadura. Caldereta de Cordero

Issue date 08 July 2020

As part of the stamp series Spain Gastronomy in 19 Dishes,  Extremadura is the first stop, to showcase one of its most iconic dishes: Caldereta de Cordero.

The stamp features one of these typical recipes, the caldereta de cordero (Lamb stew).

 Caldereta de cordero is made from small pieces of lamb seasoned with salt, olive oil, wine, water, garlic, onion, pepper and laurel. It is traditionally cooked in an iron pot over the fire.

The mini sheet framing this stamp shows the image of one of the chefs from Extremadura who best combines modern cuisine with the philosophy of traditional gastronomy from Extremadura, Javier Garcia (featured in the AR video below). In fact, it is his version of Caldereta de Cordero that is featured in this issue.

The image is completed by an image of a meadow in Extremadura: the augmented reality that depicts the  preparation of this dish  and the smell of lamb given off by the stamp paper,  as if this exquisite dish was sitting right in front of us. (Personal opinion - I did not get the smell of lamb from the mini sheets unless my smell cells are not working properly due to the autumn weather)

The Augmented Reality video can be accessed through the RA app issued by Correos Spain to view the video specifically. (I find over time due to memory constraint most AR videos are not operational over time. To preserve this I have attempted to try and save the video for future reference). Look for the "Sellos RA Correos" app in Google Play store and the Apple Store.

Spain 2020 Mineral - Jet

Issue date 29 May 2020

The famous Asturian jet is an organic gemstone, highly valued for its excellent cutting qualities, and attaining a typical shine and intense black colour after polishing. Specialist studies determine that the woody material , which becomes a humic carbon, peri hydrogenated during the Kimmeridgian age (Late Jurassic) around 155 million years ago, underwent particular circumstances while it formed, such as impregnation with hydrocarbons, which gives it some of its unique features and exceptional stability for use in jewellery making.

The image shows one of the old abandoned mine entrances in the Oles area. This is the only one that can be visited and is the end of what is known as the “Jet Route” (PR-AS.199). 

A small sample of the prestigious Oles jet is impregnated exclusively in this Premium Sheet.

Good Friday 1920, 1 April. Four post office planes departed from and arrived at an aerodrome in Alicante simultaneously. They were part of the opening ceremony for the first air mail route in Spain. It was a route that covered Barcelona - Alicante - Málaga, although its departure point was Toulouse, which was where the airline Latécoère, which operated the flight, was based.

The commemorative issue for this centenary has been done in the form of a die cut, simulating a biplane dropping the correspondence while it flies.

Spain 2020 Elms of Cabeza del Buey

Issue date 17 September 2020

The seven ancient Elms in the town of Cabeza del Buey, loom large over the chapel of the Our Lady of Belén sanctuary, are believed to be the last examples of the urban elm trees in Extremadura despite the Graphiosis, a serious disease that affects elm trees and that has reduced the population of this tree species in Spain and the rest of the world.

The Elms represented Spain in the 2018 European "Tree Of The Year" competition, finishing in second place with 22,323 votes, the best placing by a Spanish candidate in a competition of this type.

The stamp issued by Correos dedicated to this type of tree and, specifically, to this vintage and historical elm, is printed on wood paper in the form of a cut trunk where its rings can be seen, which not only give information as to the age of the tree, but also details about the kind of life it has led.

Spain 2020 Discoverers of Oceania - Miguel López de Legazpi

Issue date 22 June 2020

The stamp dedicated to the great explorer Miguel López de Legazpi is printed on wood-based paper and contains an illustration of Miguel López de Legazpi along with another of the islands he conquered.

The expedition that left his name carved into the history books set sail from Puerto de Navidad on 21 November 1564, with Legazpi as captain-general and with secret instructions to change course for the San Lázaro islands. In January they made out the Ladronas islands (Marianas) and took possession of the largest one, Guam. They renamed Leyte as the Philippines in honour of the future king, Philip II, and Mindao island as Césarea Karoli.

They were received by chief Camatuhan and his son, regulator of Samar island, and carried out diplomatic work which gave rise to the foundation by Legazpi, on 8 April 1565, of San Miguel island.

In Cebú, they found the famous image of the Boy Jesus which must have come from a previous expedition.

Subsequently, in 1570, Legazpi entered the town of Manila, which the natives called Maynilad, a prosperous, commercial, Muslim enclave in the south of Luzón island.

After numerous clashes and conflicts, Rajah Matanda handed Maynilad over to López de Legazpi.
