#475 Panama 11/02/17

A. Garcia sent me my first cover from Panama, thanks a lot! It was posted in Betania on February 17 and arrived on March 3, 2011. The cover and special cancellation commemorate the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27.

The stamp on the front and three on the back commemorate the centenary of the independence of Panama in 1903. They are part of a set, which was issued on November 26, 2003.

The middle stamp on the back was issued in 2007 and commemorates Panama’s national park Sarigua.

The bottom airmail stamp on the back was issued on November 24, 2003. It is entitled “Jewels of the Pollera“.
