説明 | This airmail stamp (= Scott Catalogue # C2) was issued on 15 November 1965 by Ajman, which is located in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. Ajman is both a city and a country (also referred to as an emirate, a sheikdom, a Trucial State, and a confederation). In modern times, it is part of the "U.A.E." = the United Arab Emirates. Ajman formerly issued many postage stamps in the 1960s and 1970s, as did other Trucial States in the region. The stamps were created specifically to be sold to non-domestic stamp collectors to raise money ("revenue") for each country. They were not even printed in the countries that bear their names. As such, they are not really postage stamps - they were not sold from Ajman post offices and not used on their mail. Many depict subjects or topics completely non-related to the home country. Serious stamp collectors collectively call these non-stamps "Dunes" or "Trucials" and consider them worthless. There's reportedly been renewed interest in Trucial stamps in recent years. |
