Details
The stamps are actually fantasy stamps created to commemorate "a short-lived unrecognized republic in Northern Albania (which) existed between July 17 and November 20, 1921." "These stamps were to be issued during a rebellion in Mirdicia in 1921. However, it later emerged that the stamps were printed after the rebellion had already been suppressed." (Quoted from: https://www.stampexchange.com/threads/the-stamps-of-albania.4276/)

De postzegels zijn eigenlijk fantasiezegels die zijn gemaakt ter herdenking van "een kortstondige niet-erkende republiek in Noord-Albanië (die) bestond tussen 17 juli en 20 november 1921." "Deze zegels moesten worden uitgegeven tijdens een opstand in Mirdicia in 1921. Later bleek echter dat de zegels werden gedrukt nadat de opstand al was onderdrukt."
