Details
New stamps from Spitsbergen / Svalbard issued by the Russian arctic authorities. These stamps are valid postage for letters and parcels shipped between Murmansk/Russia and Barentsburg and probably also for local distribution on Spitsbergen / Svalbard between the settlements. The stamps are bi-lingual, ШПИЦБЕРГЕН (= Spitsbergen) in cyrillic letters and SVALBARD in latin letters and are non-currency valued but based on weight stated in grams like this: 1000г = 1000 gram. Printed on gummed non-fluorescent paper Catalogue number: 7
