Djibouti first Stamps

Inside #???-?: Afars and Issas stamps overprinted "Republique of Djibouti" - Djibouti Mi #C195-O195

Lou wrote: In June of 1977 the territory of Afars and Issas became the Republic of Djibouti, and in addition to two stamps commemorating that event, stocks of stamps on hand were overprinted and surcharged with the new country name.  In addition to 20 stamps which were given the official imprints, smaller quantities of from 300 to 1000 of a value in different typefaces were provisionally produced on 15 stamps, possibly because of a misunderstanding of the instructions regarding the production of the overprints or because of an actual need due to a shortage of stamps.  These stamps were accepted in the mails and are very rare and expensive, both mint and on cover.

#DJB220443f2

Lou wrote: Djibouti issued two sets of SoS under the title "Chinese Art" in 2022.

Two values were issued on August 1, 2022, reproducing design components of two rare China PR stamps of 1968.  According to the Stamperija Djibouti site, they were issued in sheetlets of 20 values and no single stamps were listed or sold. However, the single stamps were listed by Michel and available on the internet. 

The Djibouti sheetlet with Stamperija # DJB220443f2 and Michel # 5614 reproduce a China PR prepared but not issued stamp design component with the left panel with country and value omitted. It was decided that the stamp was too large for efficient postal use.  About 10 of the stamps were released to the public. Several months later, in November, a smaller version of the design was issued and a China PR Sc # 999A design component, again with the country and value tablet omitted was reproduced on Djibouti Stamperija #DJB 220443f1 and Michel # 5615. Shortly after the stamp was issued, it was discovered that on the "All China Is Red" design, the island of Taiwan was not printed in red, just like in the unissued stamp. Since the Chinese government considered Taiwan to be part of the People's Republic, the stamp was an embarrassment and quickly withdrawn from sale. Many were sold, but not enough for all that wanted one, and one sold in 2021 for $126,000.

Note that the Michel numbering is in the chronological order of the China issues but the Stamperija are not.

Over 37 hours later, after successfully crossing the Atlantic and flying 6411 km, the aircraft crashed in a storm in eastern Germany (now Poland), 650 km short of their destination and both were killed.

550^th aniversary of Nicolas Copernic

Inside #DJB230626a: Central Africa #C116O

Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance polymath, active as a mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic canon, who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than Earth at its center. In all likelihood, Copernicus developed his model independently of Aristarchus of Samos, an ancient Greek astronomer who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier. The publication of Copernicus's model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making a pioneering contribution to the Scientific Revolution.
