Sheet of 25 x $2.80 gummed stamps.
Through the years, New Zealand's supply of red poppies has been sourced both overseas and locally. With the help of disabled former servicemen in Auckland and Christchurch, the RSA began producing its own poppies in 1931. This example was produced by the RSA in the 1960s or '70s.
This stamp issue celebrated the poppy and its various forms, and everything it has meant to New Zealanders for the past 100 years. Click here for more information.

No "sticky" on these
Nice stamp but unless "stick". A lick won't make it stay, you need to glue them. Annoying.
