Philatelic exhibition commemorative medals issued by the Department of Posts (1969-1980)

Abstract

From time to time the subject of these commemorative medals comes up in discussions between collectors and surprisingly, it transpires that very little is known about them. In view of this I decided to try and bridge this gap in a very small way. It must be mentioned that the humble aim behind this listing is only to provide a record of the commemorative medals issued. As up to now it looks that no such information has been published yet, all the information provided has been gleaned from official sources in my own personal collection. Finally, I augur that others would be able to add more details to this listing, especially with regards to the designers of these medals and the firm or firms entrusted with minting them. I also wish to thank Mr. Samuel Parnis for his help in scanning the medals for the illustrations provided.
