Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau Limited (“GPBL”) are issuing a limited edition 2021 commemorative ‘Cryptocurrency’ postage stamp dedicated to this revolutionary new technology. The Crypto Postage Stamp will be tied to the release of a blockchain based Digital Collectible, or non-fungible token (“NFT”) counterpart, exclusively produced by Coinsilium in collaboration with Vietnam-based RedFOX Labs Joint Stock Company (RedFOX) under the terms of a Technical Development and Support agreement announced by the Company on 10 December 2020.
The Crypto Postage Stamp series, limited to 50,000 in total, will come in a commemorative presentation pack. The presentation pack will include featured articles on various topics, covering the birth and rise of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, the evolution of blockchain technology, Gibraltar’s Blockchain/DLT hub and the story of how ‘Bitcoin Pizza Day’ came to be celebrated on 22nd May each year by the estimated 100 million members of the global Bitcoin community.
This is Gibraltar’s second cryptocurrency stamp. The first was issued May 15, 2018, in what the bureau called a “personalized stamp sheet of four.” The four 50-penny stamps in that sheet share the same design showing the Rock of Gibraltar.
