Between 1994 and 2005 all Palestinian stamps were printed by Bundesdruckerei GmbH Berlin, but during the years 1999, 2000, and 2001, Palestine issued several stamps series, block and a booklet printed by French printers Cartor Securty Printing, La Loupe (France). The most prominent feature of some is the application of 24 carat gold foil. There series in question are:
Cartor also printed for Palestine two further series, but with very distinct designs: As some designs are shared by multiple stamps issued in sheets, as blocks and in a booklet, it's sometimes difficult to distinguish between them and identify the correct stamp at once. This guide shall help in that endeavour as it concisely lists the stamps by design/motif and denomination/value. | |||||
