Solar Eclipse Stamps

2001

Compiled by Fred Espenak, ©Copyright 2001

When a solar eclipse occurs, countries in the Moon's path sometimes commemorate the event by issuing one or more special postage stamps. The 2001 eclipse was honored in Zimbabwe with three stamps. If you have extra copies of any different eclipse stamps, I would certainly be interested in purchasing them from you. In return, I will add them to this page with a public acknowledgment of your generosity. Thanks!

A set of three attractive stamps to commemorate the 2001 eclipse wasissued in Zimbabwe on 24 April. A mint set (unmounted) costs ZWD57, (about US$1 !!!) and a first day cover with the three stamps stuck on a commemorative envelope bearing a special cancellation and the Zim2001 logo (but no address as it is not sent through the post to prevent damage) costs ZWD64.

Special thanks to Dr. Francis Podmore for the JPG of this stamp.
