Year of the Horse Lunar New Year 2026

Put a stamp on history with our first-ever DigiStamps Unveiling Australia Post’s new DigiStamps – a range of stamps that have a digital collectable.

The Chinese Zodiac is made up of a 12-year cycle, with animals representing years. The Year of the Horse, with the fixed element of fire, begins on 17 February 2026. Those born in the Year of the Horse are confident and self-assured. They are strong leaders, active, social and will hold their own in all situations. Horses make excellent teachers, publicists, journalists, politicians and performers. This stamp issue has been illustrated by Chrissy Lau.

Crypto Stamp Island continues to grow:
The collectible world is expanding!

With the popular Crypto Stamp comic characters, last year’s successful series enters its next round—steadily evolving into a large collectible universe. The combination of Crypto Stamp and postage stamps makes the new edition a highlight for collectors who love both classic philately and modern collectibles and trading cards.

The new Crypto Stamps are available in stamp sets. Each set contains one Crypto Stamp with a face value of €11.35 as well as three randomly selected additional cards. These additional cards are CRYPTO STAMP ISLAND postage stamps with a face value of €2.00 each. The different additional cards are divided into three categories: locations, artifacts, and characters. Each pack therefore offers a new chance for rare combinations and surprises.

Ronny Ratel and Rex Leo kick things off.
These two striking new comic characters will expand the world of Crypto Stamps starting on March 19, 2026. Both designs blend seamlessly into the existing comic universe and offer collectors new visual highlights as well as exciting additions to their personal collections.

The stamp sets are available at a price of €17.35 and have a print run of 6,050 pieces each.

For everyone who wants to store their collection stylishly and neatly, there is an exclusive new release this year: a dedicated Crypto Stamp collector’s album. The exclusive comic design, colorful illustrations, and expressive details make the album a collectible item in its own right. The album contains 10 transparent insert sheets with a total of 20 pages and 180 pockets—perfect for collecting and organizing Crypto Stamps and CRYPTO STAMP ISLAND postage stamps. The collector’s album will also be available starting March 19, 2026, is limited to 1,000 pieces, and costs €29.90.

The stamp sets and the collector’s album are available in the online shop, through the collector service, and at selected sales points. The stamp sets are also available in Philapunkt branches.

A special highlight awaits collectors on the first day of issue, March 19: starting at 9 a.m., an exclusive event will take place at the Philatelie Shop 1030, featuring a stamp presentation and a signing session from 10 to 11 a.m. with Thomas Aigelsreiter and Andreas Paar, the artists behind the Crypto Stamps and the CRYPTO STAMP ISLAND comic. It’s the perfect opportunity to hold the new releases in your hands for the first time, have them signed, and meet other fans from the Crypto Stamp community. Customers can also look forward to an exclusive goodie with any purchase made on-site on the first day.

Important: Subscribers of the XL and XXL subscriptions will receive the Crypto Stamps Ronny Ratel and Rex Leo individually by mail. XXL subscribers will also receive the CRYPTO STAMP ISLAND postage stamps (additional cards) with the release of the final comic character at the end of 2026.

Doesn’t this sound good?

The new Crypto stamp is a tribute to Vienna, City of Music!

Under the title “Vienna – City of Music”, the design of the new Crypto stamp contains a trove of lovingly crafted details that recall the musical heritage of this wonderful city. You may even spot one or two motifs and recognise their meaning.

This stamp may be vibrant but so is the programme to mark its release:

Our cooperation partner is the Qwien association, Austria’s first queer cultural centre. On 16 April 2026, from 1 pm to 9 pm, a special post office will open there to celebrate the first day of issue of the Crypto stamp, along with an exciting evening event.

Come and visit us and celebrate Vienna, the vibrant City of Music – and of course the new Crypto stamp!
