    Description

    The Rock mnh strip of 4 stamps mnh 2002 Gibraltar
    The Rock of Gibraltar stamps are the first ever stamps in the world to be produced with actual rock incorporated on the stamps. Limestone was bored out of the center of the Rock, as accessed by the Rock's World War II tunnels. The limestone was first powdered and then sintered within the image of Gibraltar where there is rock showing. The printing process used was offset lithography together with a thermographic layer of limestone, creating an embossed effect.
