Circle Shaped - Perfumed scented odd shape stamp - Korea


Yet another beautiful circle shaped stamp in my collection. This odd shape stamp is not only in the shape of circle, but it is scented or perfumed and smells like a strawberry.

"Dignity for all children without discrimination, esteemed as a pioneering influence to lead the country into a better future, to grow as upright, beautiful, and courageous individuals (excerpt from the preamble to the Children's Charter...)

2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the Children's Charter.

Anticipating that our children will grow as Koreans who will lead Korea into a brighter future, just as declared in the Children's Charter, and grow as global citizens contributing to peace for all mankind, a new stamp is being issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of the Children's Charter. This new stamp, in the form of stickers, projects the sweet smell of strawberry.
