Aruba stamps

Aruba is an island in the Caribbean, close to Venezuela. It was part of the Netherlands Antilles and obtained a separate status of autonomy which allows it to issue its own stamps since 1986.

The first series of stamps in 1986, moreover, has as its theme the autonomy of Aruba and its separation from the Netherlands Antilles.

Since then, the country has issued a number of very diverse thematic series, particularly on endangered wildlife.

The first souvenir sheet issued in 1999 refers to the cultural diversity of the island.
