PMR Catalogue of Official Government Issues

1993 & 1994

Introductory Note: Although the PMR declared it's independence some years previously, it was not until June 1992 before a properly organised and formal postal system was introduced. The first official stamp issue for PMR was the "Tiraspol" overprints series of June 1992, but because these stamps were intended for use only on prepaid postcards and envelopes, in conjunction with the face values of the USSR stamps printed thereon, these overprints are considered to be "tariff" stamps and are not usually included in catalogues of standard postage stamps. However, the the sake of completeness, I have listed them here.

The first officially recognised postage stamp issue of the PMR was the "State Arms" definitive, issued on December 31, 1993.

Caution: Under FIP regulations, issues of countries that are not recognised by the UPU will not be allowed entry into exhibitions organised under the FIP umbrella. The FIP wishes to discourage the practice of issuing bogus stamps for purely speculative purposes. The FIP recommends that collectors do not take any of this material into their collections. Any collection that contains this type of material will be disqualified from receiving FIP awards.
