Welfare: Liechtenstein newsletter for the fourth quarter of 2022

The terms "equality" and "equal rights" are widely recognized. In fact, for many years they have been written into law in many countries of the Western world. But is that enough? How can a society achieve true equality? As early as the 6th century BC, the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said: "Seeing difference as equality is true greatness."

To this end, we have issued a new special stamp "Equality = Equality" (denomination: CHF 2.40). Among the countless challenges around the theme of equality, our stamps chose Braille: a tactile writing system developed for the visually impaired. The equal sign (=) is expressed in Braille and black print, and uses a yellow neon background to attract the audience's attention.

Each Braille character consists of six dots, arranged in three lines and two verticals, which form a combined grid of letters, numbers, and other characters. To make the characters on the special stamp correct and legible, the upper two dots are perforated and the lower four dots are raised.

The Baigola "Beigla" (face value: 1.10 Swiss francs) is a ledger on which in the past members of Alpine farmers' cooperatives carved their share in forests and grazing rights. Their legal rights are recorded by indentations engraved on the ledger board, a method of bookkeeping that was widely used by the mountain community of Triesenberg in Liechtenstein until the mid-19th century. Researchers believe that the term Baigla is derived from Alemannic Beiala (nick).

The best-preserved set of ledgers records the distribution of shares of the Silum mountain pastures of Gross, Christag and Triesenberg. It consists of 59 boards of different sizes, on which the members of the cooperative carve their shares: a complete transverse groove corresponds to a pasture share, half a groove corresponds to a half share, and a dot represents a quarter.

In order to match the ledger with its owner, in addition to the share record, a symbol representing the corresponding family is engraved on the ledger. After recording, the ledgers were tied together by a rope and were usually kept in drawers in the sacristy of the parish church. Changes in ownership are only allowed to be burned on the ledger in the presence of parish priests, judges, church deacons, jurors and Alpine bailiff police.

Christmas

Welfare: Liechtenstein newsletter for the fourth quarter of 2022

In keeping with tradition, we issue self-adhesive Christmas stamps at the end of each year. Four Christmas stamps designed by Liechtenstein-based artist Jadwiga Falk-Ley, with unlimited Christmas wishes, are waiting to be sent around the world.

The four stamps depict four different groups of angels of peace, each composed of repeating elements of different sizes and arrangements. "Cosmos I" (denomination: CHF 2.10), "Cosmos II" (denomination: CHF 0.90), "Golden Angel of Peace" (denomination: CHF 1.10) and "Silver Angel of Peace" (denomination: CHF 1.80) all feature bright colours and complex shapes.

Just as the path to peace can be varied, so the artist also wants to leave room for personal interpretation of this theme. Born in Bavaria, Austria in 1930, Yadiwig Fockley began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin in 1949. Later she moved to Spain, where she focused on painting. She has lived and worked in Liechtenstein since 1960. The use of paintings and collages to describe the world of color and shape forms the central theme of her work.

Welfare: Liechtenstein newsletter for the fourth quarter of 2022

The rabbit stamp is the last of the 12 special stamps issued annually by Liechtenstein and is presented in the form of a continuation of the latest laser technology and carved into a filament silhouette. Like other Chinese zodiac stamps, this year's rabbit stamp sheet includes four identical red stamps, a symbol of happiness in China.

On January 22, 2023, the Chinese New Year will usher in the "Year of the Rabbit" and last until February 9, 2024. In astrology, the rabbit is a symbol of speed, agility, and productivity. Rabbit people are said to be particularly peace-loving and tend to avoid conflict and predicament. Due to their friendly nature, they are great companions and know how to be the best version of themselves. However, astrologers explain that rabbit people are a bit conservative, insecure, and not good at change.

As our stamp collectors know, rabbit stamp sheetlets are designed in the shape of rabbits and made using a high-quality gold foil hot stamping process, and the four stamps can be separated separately and are in self-adhesive form.
