Historic Postage Stamps of Atlantium

The Empire of Atlantium produced a number of definitive and commemorative stamp issues in its early years. The main purpose of these was for the carriage of mail between Atlantian Citizens resident in Australia, and many were postmarked by both Atlantian and Australian postal authorities. Cancelled covers of this nature are now rare, and most of the handful of examples still known to be in existence are part of the Imperial Collection of Emperor George II.

The following images detail all recorded varieties of the ten postage stamp issues that were produced between 1982 and 1985. Full sheets, minisheets and First Day Covers were produced for most issues from 1984 onwards.
