Post Liechtenstein Unveils NFT Postage Stamp Art Edition
The Principality of Liechtenstein's official postal service division, Philatelie Liechtenstein, has made a significant move into the world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) by unveiling its NFT postage stamp art edition. Here are the key highlights of this innovative venture:
Combining Tradition and Technology: The NFT postage stamp art edition merges traditional philately with cutting-edge technology. Renowned pop artist Romero Britto's digital artwork is featured on these unique stamps.
Hybrid Offering: Each package includes a physical postage stamp with a piece of Romero Britto's artwork and is designed as a steel engraving by artists Barbara Bühler and Kurt Spirig "KUSPI." These stamps serve as both traditional and crypto stamps.
Certificates of Authenticity: Two numbered certificates of authenticity are provided: one for the special stamp block and another for the limited art edition that includes the NFT.
Narrative Layer: The package includes a letter from the philatelic division, adding an additional narrative layer to the collection.
Extras: The package comes with four VIP tickets for the Liechtenstein LandesMuseum and a choice of sparkling wine, coffee, and cake. The first 500 orders receive a special gift personally signed by Romero Britto.
Virtual Co-ownership: The heart of this project is the creation of 1,500 NFTs, each offering virtual co-ownership of a larger artwork by Romero Britto. The original oil painting by Britto is on display at Liechtenstein's national museum.
Global Trend: The move into NFTs by Post Liechtenstein is part of a broader trend among national postal services worldwide. Other countries like the Faroe Islands, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Austria have also embraced NFTs to modernize philately.
Pioneering Role: Liechtenstein initiated its Stamp 4.0 project in 2021, setting the stage for this innovative NFT postage stamp art edition. It serves as a benchmark for the possibilities in the NFT space for postal services globally.
