Amman, April 29 (Petra) – The Jordan Post is set to release a new commemorative stamp series celebrating the rich heritage and artistic beauty of Arabic calligraphy. The collection will be available to the public and philatelists starting Wednesday.

In a statement on Tuesday, the company announced that the 2025 edition includes six uniquely designed stamps, each valued at 25 piasters, alongside a special card priced at 50 piasters. The full set is offered at a total of JD2. Collectors can also purchase a first-day cover featuring the complete stamp set for 2.5 dinars, as well as a postcard available for 25 piasters.
