If interested, you can see the stamps issued then here:<br />http://www.postzegelblog.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/nvph-1020-1023.jpg<br />Willem-Alexander was five years old then, he is portraited on the stamp on the left, and in the stamp on the right in the right corner.<br />Both in 1972 and in 2012 the stamps were issued, costing an extra amount for children's welfare projects.Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-57396971146581764762014-05-02T15:02:23.185-04:002014-05-02T15:02:23.185-04:00Yes, they're part of a stamps sheet of six.
