World Food Day Stamps, 1981

The World Food Day commemorative set was issued on 16 October 1981 and printed by the Wazi Security Printing Works, Myanmar.

The stamps were produced by offset lithography, perforated 14, and measure 42 × 30 mm. They were printed in sheets of 50 (5 × 10 format) on unwatermarked white wove paper with white gum.

The set comprises three denominations:

• 25 pyas

• 50 pyas

• 1 kyat

A total of 1,000,000 stamps were printed for each of the 25 pyas and 50 pyas values, while only 100,000 copies were produced for the 1 kyat denomination, making it the scarcer value within the set.

The designs were prepared by the Design Department of Wazi Security Printing Works.
