The Empire of Atlantium produced a
number of definitive and commemorative stamp issues
in its early years. The main purpose of these was for
the carriage of mail between Atlantian Citizens
resident in Australia, and many were postmarked by
both Atlantian and Australian postal authorities.
Cancelled covers of this nature are now rare, and most of the
handful of examples still known to be in existence are part of the Imperial
Collection of Emperor George II.
The following images detail all recorded varieties of
the ten postage stamp issues that were produced between 1982
and 1985. Full sheets, minisheets and First Day Covers were produced
for most issues from 1984 onwards.
