Gandhi Khadi Stamp, India

Country - India

Stamp issue date - 13 February, 2011

Printing process - Offset on Khadi cloth

Denomination - INR 100.00

On the inaugural day of Indipex 2011, the India post issued a special stamp printed on khadi material depicting Mahatma Gandhi. It’s a first of its kind in the world and was released by the president on February 12, 2011.

The 39X39 milimetre, diamond-shaped stamp is made of the usual unwatermarked gravure coated stamp paper, on which is stuck a square of khadi cloth specially manufactured in West Bengal. A charkha appears in the foreground of the cloth, with the thread spinning out to form a line drawing of the Mahatma spinning.

My stamp was sourced at the World Stamp Exhibition, 2011.
