SNA -Winter Olympic Games

From the original Art on Stamps archive

The International Olympic Committee has decided during its annual session, held at Ciedad de Leon, to move the Winter Olympic Games 2002 to the Spanish North Africa.

The SNA Postal Administration has reacted immediately by issuing a miniature sheet (see above). The sheet shows the mascot of the future Olympic Games, a baby domestic fennec named Fenny. The fennec is the national animal of the SNA.

The sheet was issued on 8th of June 2001 and is immediately available worldwide. The print run is limited to 150,000 pieces, all numbered. As usually, the first sheet went to the SNA Postal Museum and the last one to the UPU. Please contact the SNA Philatelic Dept. for conditions and availability.
