Difference between definitive and commemorative stamps
The post offices produce two types of stamps, definitive and commemorative. Definitive stamps are the regular stamps. They are printed in large numbers and are meant to be used for long periods of time. Sometimes definitive stamps are reprinted to replenish supplies and their design can vary with reprints. The longest-running definitive stamp series in the world is Norway’s 1872 design with the numerals of the stamp value within the loop of a crowned post horn.

Commemorative stamps are printed in smaller quantities to honour an important person, event, or anniversary. They are usually sold for a limited time and are sometimes created primarily for sale to the collector market.
