North Korea 2026 80th Anniversary of North Korea First Stamp Issued Metal Stamps

Front View - Left Perf and Right Imperf Stamp

Back View of the stamps - non adhesive - Left Perf and Right Imperf Stamp

Issue date 12 March 2026

North Korea Post has issued a special set of two 800 won metal stamps (One Perf and One Imperf) with a Golden hue and relief imprint (both front and back) - non adhesive to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the issuance of the first North Korean Stamp. An image of the first North Korean Issued stamp is printed on the Metal Stamp. 

This stamp is 1mm thick, printed on both sides of the stamp and weighing about 24gm (quite heavy for the stamp - The content of the metal is unknown.) and non adhesive ... wonder if it can be postally used considering the thickness of the stamp - non adhesiveness - and weight of the stamp - besides the cancellation impact on the stamp. Would be a wonder to see a used cover with this stamp. It’s not even a thin metal foil but a really thick one. I would consider it to be a souvenir of the stamp. (See video to understand what I mean)

Perf weight 24 gm

Imperf weight 24 gm

However this metal stamp is listed on the issued pamphlet along with the normal stamp sheet.
