The Australia 2013 World Stamp Exhibition was held in Melbourne from 10 to 15 May under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie, and to celebrate New Zealand Post released special exhibition products.

Issue information

The exhibition featured the largest collection of philatelic and numismatic items on show in Australia since 2005, and marked the centenary of the 1913 Kangaroo and Map stamp - Australia’s first national postage stamp.

It was attended by national and international dealers, traders, collectors and postal administrations, including New Zealand Post.

To celebrate the exhibition, New Zealand Post issued an exhibition miniature sheet and souvenir cover. The miniature sheet incorporated stamps from the Queen Elizabeth II - 60th Anniversary of the Coronation stamp issue, set against an image of the exhibition venue - the Royal Exhibition Building.
