When Portuguese post issued Star Wars stamps, I decided it's time to make my first order from this beautiful country. This beautiful sheet with 3 stamps and 6 individual stamps are dedicated to The 40th Anniversary of Star Wars, and it's issued on 25.8.2017. Sheet is dedicated to the original trilogy (now Episodes IV, V and VI), and individual stamps celebrate most memorable characters from franchise.
Beautiful design and coloring for legendary characters: Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader and Yoda.
Portugal also have separate issues for their island territories, Madeira and Azores, and it's also issued on 7.5.2010.
This is Europa (C.E.P.T.) - Astronomy, issues for Portugal, Azores and Madeira. Release date was 8.5.2009.
I also bought this 3 joint issues:
Joint issue with Iraq - Birds of Prey, 21.9.2009.
Joint issue with Turkey - Porcelain, 12.5.2009.
Joint issue with India - Folklore/Dance, 7.1.2017.
And for the end, this is one of rare posts which sends philatelic material in cover with stamps! This is so rare today, unfortunately. They used two different stamps: Christmas, (10.9.2013), and famous Portuguese tiles rewarded with Aga Khan Award for Architecture (6.9.2013.)
