Briefe der Nationen: Thailand

A fourth variety shows on the front of the envelope a 1.25-baht stamp commemorating the 1983 International Stamp Exhibition in Bangkok, and it contains a 1983 1-baht coin (y159.1). The back of the envelope contains no description.

Take note that in the picture, the towers are on the right side; in the variety that contains a description on the back of envelope, the towers are on the left side.

The other type of coin covers I collect has a strip of flags in the reverse side of the envelope, and they are apparently issued by Geophila.  So far, I have encountered three different varieties with differing stamps on the front of the envelope and differing designs on the reverse:

1. The first one has, on the front of the envelope, a 2-baht stamp featuring the Thailand Cultural Centre, and it contains a 1990 1-baht coin commemorating the Queen Mother's Birthday (y232); the reverse of the envelope has no country description and no additional stamp.

2. The second one has, on the front of the envelope, a 1.25-baht stamp commemorating the 1983 International Stamp Exhibition in Bangkok, and it contains a 1983 1-baht coin (y159.1); the reverse of the envelope has a description of the country and a printed flag of Thailand in lieu of another stamp.

 

3. The third one has, on the front of the envelope, a 1.25-baht stamp depicting "Buddha Image - Chiang Saen Style", and it contains a 1983 1-baht coin (y159.1); the reverse of the envelope has a description of the country and a 20-cent United Nations stamp depicting Thailand's flag.

Thailand Münz-Briefe

Eid break! We have a 9-day hiatus from work, so this should help me catch up on things....

One type of coin covers I collect is issued by Philswiss, and they come with information cards written in German.  In the beginning, I concentrated on countries found in both the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia.  Since I am collecting Dutch coins, I also recently decided to collect coin covers from Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, and Suriname.

The image above shows the third kind of stamp for Thailand, and so far I have only encountered one type of mint mark.

Thailand Münz-Briefe

I just received yesterday this Thailand Münz-Briefe (coin cover) I had won from an eBay auction.  It’s the variety that shows 13 in the postmark; the other variety which shows 35 is already in my collection.

The Thailand Münz-Briefe below also has varieties showing either 13 or 35 in the postmark, and I’ve had a copy of both varieties for some time now.
