nethryk, I think that B652 semi-postal is one of the most beautiful stamps I have ever seen! Thanks for posting it.

Just four members of the Canadian 13 stamp Coats of Arms and Floral Emblem series of 1964-66.









edit - Oooh, quite the flaw of that maple leaf on the first stamp!

A couple from Monaco.

I know lot of peoples that collect this topic, but never meet any serious collection on exhibit - really don't know why, probably because too much stamp of it around?

Even that modern period (because quality of printing) have better design and "picture", I still like this one:

Here is an image of a stamp depicting the coat of arms of the Roman Catholic Archbishopric of Asunción, engraved and printed by Security Banknote Company, and issued by Paraguay on January 6, 1948 as one of a set of twelve stamps commemorating the 50th anniversary (in 1945) of the archbishopric, Scott No. 448. Note that in this stamp's design the Latin word focis appears to be misspelled as "fogis" in the archbishopric's motto, Pro aris et focis, ("For our altars and hearths"), Fortiter et Suaviter ("Strength and Gentleness").
