This year, we are again using the overprinting method for four existing self-adhesive definitive stamps. This means that the original face value of the stamp will be visibly corrected and overprinted with the new face value. This is due to the price increases by Liechtensteinische Post AG. Stamps that have already been issued remain valid for postage.
The "Marbled White" definitive stamp from the 2009 butterfly series will now be issued with a postage value of CHF 1.00 (previously CHF 1.30) as a result of the overprint. This butterfly from the "browns" subfamily of butterflies lives along the Rhine and in mountainous regions. The "Spotted Darter" from the 2020 dragonfly issue will also have a new face value of CHF 1.20 (previously CHF 2.00). It has completely black legs and its wings are densely veined.
Two stamps from the 2023 Samina Valley fauna issue will also be corrected: We are increasing the face value of the "Alpine Salamander" self-adhesive stamp to CHF 1.90 (previously CHF 0.90) and the "Alpine Silver Ant" is being given a new face value of CHF 2.50 (previously CHF 1.10) due to the overprinting process. The shiny black amphibian and the endangered insect are both native to the wild and romantic Samina Valley.
