Georgia 2022 Lighthouse Stamps – New Lighthouse Stamp Country

Though these stamps are dated “2021” they were apparently issued in January 2022 by Georgia (the former Soviet republic).

Poti Lighthouse was built in 1864 and serves as the rear range for ships approaching the port of the same name.

Sukhumi Lighthouse is located near the city of the same name in the republic of Abkhazia which declared it’s independence from Georgia but that independence appears to be in dispute. The lighthouse was built in 1864 and looks to be in a state of disrepair.

Batumi Lighthouse, built in 1883 is located at the port of Batumi. It was built in 1882.

2022 Germany Lighthouse Stamp

On 3 January 2022, Germany issued a stamp showing a stylized lighthouse with a fountain pen nib in place of the lantern. It also shows a letter folded in the form of a toy boat. Should we assume that this stamp was issued to encourage letter writing?
