Liechtenstein 2010-06-07 (forthcoming)
Liechtenstein Post will issue a new stamp to commemorate the Principality’s 50th year of participation in Interpol. The June 7th, 2010 planned issue has a denomination of CHF 1.90 and is a part of a three stamp set marking various 50th anniversaries in Liechtenstein. The very interesting issue shows a shadow of a world map overprinted with a fingerprint. This is drawn on a cream colored background which is in the shape of a case folder. The year and month of issue is depicted as part of the case number on the file. The design is is very unique and matches the Interpol theme very well. Each of the 188 Interpol Member States maintains a National Central Police Bureau (NCB) for the processing of police information. The Liechtenstein NCB referred to as “Interpol Vaduz” is affiliated with the National Police Agency in Vaduz and receives about 400 requests for cooperation on various cases from Interpol headquarters each year. This will be an issue not to be missed by fellow cartophilatelists.
