Afghanistan nearly
merits an earlier entry, possibly as the second issuer of miniature sheets
as many of its early stamps, including commemoratives, were issued in small sheets, for example
the 1920 SG173, Sc214 (and the others in that set) in sheets of two. It
looks as though this was simply the method of production rather than a
commemorative purpose added November 2007
issued 31st December 1960
sheet size 108x80 mm
Scott mentions but does not number the sheets in my
catalogue

1961 Mongolia
postage and airmail stamps and sheets issued simultaneously
variants on SG225-232, SC236-240 and C1-C3
(a) postage - SG MS229a, Sc241 £7 / £5
(b) airmail - SG MS232a, Sc-C4 £4 / £4
40th anniversary of independence |
|
Mongolia gets an
entry largely because there are so few on the site from Gibbons Part 10
(Russia), as most are 1990s independence issues. Mongolia made rather a
philatelic meal of its 40th independence anniversary, issuing four sets of
stamps and four sheets. issued 5th June 1961
sheet sizes both 115x90 mm |
1967 Ethiopia
one S671, Sc483, colour changed

Ethiopia deserves an entry for nearly producing the world's first sheet in 1894,
see the Province Block, here.

In 1955, the set of stamps commemorating the centenary of
Swedish stamps (SG366-370, Sc479-483) were sold in sheets of 9 at the
Stockholmia stamp show, but neither Scott nor Gibbons regard this as a
souvenir sheet. |
