Collection: Vatican City Postage Stamps

The Vatican has a reputation for producing attractive issues in small quantities, making the stamps a great choice for collectors. Even today, the average production run for most issues is only between 300,000 and 500,000 stamps, which is much less than most stamp-issuing entities. Vatican City postage stamps are produced under the authority of the Philatelic and Numismatic Office of the Vatican City State. Much, but certainly not all, of the mail handled by the Vatican is from tourists or official congregations of the Roman Curia.
