Ajman (Manama Dependency) 1972 Munich Olympics

Ajman · 1972 · Various

This set of stamps was issued by the dependency of Manama, part of the Trucial State of Ajman, to commemorate the 1972 Summer Olympics held in Munich. The designs feature various Olympic sports, including equestrian events, track and field, and gymnastics. These issues were produced primarily for the thematic collector market.

Issued shortly before Ajman joined the United Arab Emirates in December 1971, these stamps are considered 'Cinderella' or non-postal issues as they were not intended for legitimate postal use but rather sold directly to collectors.
