Following a review of possible future stamp designs for 2026 and beyond, and the adoption of some AI aided design features which makes detailed designs quicker to produce, it has been decided to add at least two further stamp issues to this year's releases. Once confirmed with our printer, these additional issues will be formally announced. Watch this space!
