A joint issue means the printing of stamps by two or more countries to commemorate the same topic, event or person. Joint issues typically have the same first day of issue and their design is often similar or identical, except for the identification of country and value.
Below you can find some of the joint issues on stamps from my collection. They are listed alphabetically by the first country of issue. E.g. If you look for the joint issue of Gibraltar and the Vatican, you will find it under Gibraltar.
Several apparent joint issues have been excluded from the post. They are:
- commonwealth issues (e.g. the issues commemorating the death of Diana of Wales), since they are not really joint issues
- Europa issues, because they are not generally issued on the same day by the issuing countries
- accidental commemorations (e.g. 2009 meant the commemoration of both Louis Braille and Charles Darwin, and many countries issued stamps featuring them, without being joint issues)
- local issues (e.g. the issues of Portugal, Madeira and the Azores)
- large-scale, worldwide thematics (e.g. the International Year of the Child – 1979)
