Flag of the Netherlands Antilles 1986+
The postal administration of the Netherlands Antilles issued 30 June last six new stamps with the flags and the coats of arms of the islands. The islands consist out of: Curaçao, Bonaire, St Maarten, Saba and St Eustatius. Only the last islands don't have a flag and coat of arms of their own. St Eustatius uses the flag and coat of arms of the Netherlands Antilles as its national symbols. The Postal Service of the Netherlands Antilles issued the booklet 'Flag Issue 1995 / Vlaggenserie 1995' with full details on the history and use of the national symbols of the islands. Write to the Philatelic Service of the Netherlands Antilles, Waaigatplein 1, Curaçao for information.
