Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Falcons - Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus), Male - Poland 1975 - Michel's Poland 2356 - my hobby
Greetings friends!
Today, many are talking about the approaching global financial crisis and the division of currency zones, which, so far, does not clarify how events will develop.
The world has already seen many crises and people are trying to keep their investments.
Someone buys shares, someone silver and gold, others look towards cryptocurrencies, but, practically, never, the media does not talk about the possibility of preserving their investments with the help of postage stamps.
Yes, today, we see a relatively low cost of postage stamps in dollar terms, but, for example, people who invested in postage stamps during the crisis of the nineties after the collapse of the USSR, saved and increased their funds, because if a postage stamp, up to the crisis was sold for one cent, then, after the crisis, it began to cost about three, four cents.
It seems insignificant, but you need to understand the total volume of the philately market and they are huge.
Today, I would like to present another postage stamp from the Falcons series, issued in Poland in 1975.
This postage stamp features Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus), Male.
On the previous postage stamp, we saw a female of this species of falcons, see how much the male and female differ in color.
This is not a change of wardrobe, this is something that defies explanation, it seems that these are different types of birds.
The male, as befits a cavalier, received a black mackentosh from God.
Today, all of a sudden, red sneakers and red clothes that some men wear, I don't dress like that lol.
Apparently they looked at the red legs and beak of this falcon and thought it looked good, but I'm not a bird lol.
Let's take a look at this postage stamp.
