The national park "Yagorlyk" which this year
celebrates the 25 anniversary from the moment of creation, is admitted to
structure of the Eurasian union of reserves and brought in the register of the
International reserved fund. On August 14, 2013 the Transnistrian post together
with the company "Marka Pridnestrovya" held a presentation of the
third part of edition devoted to the national nature protection Yagorlyk
complex. In circulation arrived a set of 4 values and block on which are
represented the following mammals - usual inhabitants of the reserve: badger,
hare, caress, fox and hedgehog. Information on the first and second issues "Reserve
Yagorlyk" is submitted on website UkraFil in news of July 21 and on August
3, 2013. The stamps are printed in 4 mini sheets of 6 sets with decorating margins and in collective sheetlet of 2 sets. Artist B. Ogli. Edition
of stamps - 9000 copies. Edition of Block - 600 copies. Edition of collective sheetlet - 600 copies. Printed by Company "Publishing
house "Belarusian House Printing".
Also on August 14
in addition to "Yagorlyk's Mammals" is issued
a collective mini sheet of 12 values united in itself all inhabitants of the
national security park: birds, animals and the reptiles presented on stamps
from all three series. The issues printed in blocks, didn't get to a collective
sheet. The images, face values and other details of the Birds and Reptiles
stamps presented in collective sheetlet, completely coincide with the issues
published earlier. However, three of four stamps of "Animals" have
essential visual difference. On a fox and a badger in a collective sheet face
values of stamps and year of the edition are printed in other colours.
Possibly, the designers made these changes for the best emotional and visual
perception.
So, the Transnistrian saga from three parts, devoted to
anniversary of reserve Yagorlyk, proceeding two summer months and including 15
stamps, 3 blocks, 12 mini sheets, 4 collective sheetlets, many First Day covers,
cancels and cards for Maxi cards, at last is complete. Website UkraFil thanks the
