A Souvenir Sheet in Cyberspace

These stamps from the Urissakzillian Mint were isssued by the

R.U.P.O--or Republika Urissakzillia Postika Officici--in a format

generally referred to as the 'souvenir sheet' by philatelists.

Souvenir Sheets are usually smallish sheets of stamps issued for

collectors. Often they commemorate some philatelic event. These

stamps were created to commemorate the commencement of

Urissakzillian postage stamps, which began in 2010.
