2023 Guernsey Frama Labels

On 15 Feb 2015, Guernsey Post issued two sets of six frama lables (ATM stamps). The two sets are identical except that one set includes “Envoy House” on the left half of the labels. Envoy House is the main post office in Guernsey. These labels celebrate large cruise ships that call on the island. One of them shows Castle Breakwater Lighthouse located in St. Peter Port.
