Bangladesh 50p Gray-Almond Unissued Definitive

Bangladesh · 1980 · 50p

This is an unissued definitive stamp from Bangladesh with a face value of 50 poisha. The design, printed in a gray-almond color, was prepared but never officially released for postal use. Such unissued stamps are highly sought after by specialists as they represent a unique part of a country's postal history.

In 1980, Bangladesh was preparing new definitive stamps for regular postal use. For various reasons, including design changes or currency revaluations, this particular 50p value was printed but ultimately not issued to the public.
