Ireland 21p Christmas Error Stamp (Missing Inscription)
Ireland · 1987 · 21 pence
This 1987 Irish Christmas commemorative stamp features festive birds such as a turtle dove, partridge, and French hen. The highly sought-after error variety is distinguished by the complete absence of the 'NOLLAIG 1987' inscription.
Issued to celebrate the Christmas holiday, this stamp gained significant philatelic importance due to a rare printing error, with only fourteen known specimens missing the year inscription.
