I had the pleasure of meeting Paul van Herpt, the designer of the stamp during my visit to the exhibition. See below.
I was attending the NZ 2023 stamp exhibition in New Zealand in May 2023. I purchased the stamps at the exhibition from a dealer, prepared the cover my self and handed over at the New Zealand Post counter for mailing. I am grateful to the NZ post people who were present at the exhibition who took the cover back to Whanagui where the NZ Post Philatelic Office is located and posted the cover from there.
These stamps were issued on 7th January 2009. From L - R: Cape Reinga Lighthouse, Cape Egmont Lighthouse, Cape Brett Lighthouse, Dog Island Lighthouse and Pencarrow Lighthouse.
