2024The Siege and Relief of Leiden - 450 Years - Stamp Booklet

On 3 October 2024, it will be 450 years to the day since Leiden was liberated by the Sea Beggars after being under Spanish siege for many months. Since then, 3 October has been a huge day of celebration in the city for this historic event. This year’s special anniversary prompted PostNL to release the stamp sheet The Siege and Relief of Leiden – 450 Years, which commemorates the heroes of the time and the stories surrounding the siege and relief. The stamps each bear a value of 1 for mail up to 20 grams with a destination within the Netherlands. The price for a sheet of 6 stamps is €6.84.
