Single $4.10 'Spirit of Gold' gummed stamp.
$4.10 Spirit of Gold - Spirit of Gold is a term to describe the dual purpose of Paralympics New Zealand: ‘gold’ to recognise its high-performance credentials and ‘spirit’ to represent caring for and inspiring communities. It is also a way of describing a Paralympian: the unique mix of talent, determination and heart that drives success and provides inspiration to the next generation.
Paralympians once again took to one of the greatest stages in the world between 24 August and 5 September 2021 for the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Click here to find out more.
