July brings another exceptional offering: serial number 001918, a historical gem marking the birth of Georgia's First Democratic Republic on May 26, 1918 - a defining moment in Georgian history.

The series, printed by the prestigious Royal Joh. Enschedé, will be officially auctioned, with high-level diplomatic delegations slated to attend. It follows in the footsteps of the record-breaking sale of serial number 001991, celebrating the 1991 independence referendum, which fetched €3,500 at a previous auction in December 2024.
