For the first time ever in Patria's postal history (dating to the introduction of postage stamps around the middle of the 19th century) a foreign macro-national monarch is portrayed as Patria Post issues a stamp in memory of Queen Elizabeth II. Note the denomination of 70 Patrienish Rupees to honor her 70 year reign. Most of Patria's stamps are non-denominated "forever" stamps in which the numeral 1 is not a value of one rupee, but designates the stamp being valid for the current First Class letter rate.
Patria Post also issued a Navratri commemorative stamp. The use of #hashtags rather than text in English or Patrienish is becoming increasingly common on Patria's stamp issues.
