Famous Eastern Island's statues : the moai (postcard by Chilean society Hispapel).
Stamps on the postcard (my friends know me :)
390 pesos ($) is the price for a letter less than 20 grams from Chile to Europe. The stock of stamps is going away slowly : 2001 and 2002 are the years of issue of these two items. On 6 May 2001 began this 100 peses "colocolo" to warn about the extinction of this species, designed here by Hector Carrasco. Roberto Sepulveda B. expressed one of the country's tradition with this 290 peso stamp issued 16 September 2002. They both are printed in offset by la Casa de Moneda de Chile.ar la Casa de Moneda de Chile.
