JPC celebrates Silver Jubilee with exclusive stamp release

AMMAN — Jordan Post Company (JPC) issued on Saturday a set of commemorative stamps on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of His Majesty King Abdullah's assumption of his constitutional powers, "Silver Jubilee". 

As His Majesty King Abdullah marks the 25th year of his reign, the Silver Jubilee is not just a milestone but a testament to a quarter-century of transformative leadership and governance, the JPC said. 

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the JPC Sami Daoud said on Saturday the Kingdom's entire stamp collections, which were issued on many national occasions, detail the journey of the Jordanian state and its key milestones in various political, economic, social and other aspects, according to a JPC statement.

Daoud noted the new series will join Jordan's Stamp Museum to document an aspect of His Majesty King Abdullah's reign, during which Jordan witnessed a major transition in major economic, social and cultural fields.

He also added that JPC issued a series of stamps during the past 25 years on several occasions, primarily the centennials of the Jordanian state and Great Arab Revolt, the 10th anniversary of His Majesty's ascension to the Throne, the wedding of HRH Crown Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah, and other national occasions.

The issue will be released and made available to stamp collectors next Monday at JPC headquarters in Amman's Muqabalin neighbourhood and post offices, the statement said.
