Well, we seem to be on some sort of a streak here: Another cover from Mr. Phantom, again dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the first CEPT/Europa issue, and again another country added to my list.  Vielen Dank, Alex! 

Jamaica, the land of Reggae and a member of the Commonwealth, what implies that King Charles III wouldn’t look out of place in rastas, given that he is its Head of State, although the country obtained its independence from the UK in 1962.

As mentioned a propos the previous post concerning a Montenegro cover, several postal administrations of nom member countries of CEPT, issued celebratory stamps for the 50th anniversary of the first CEPT/Europa issues, occurred in 1956.

Jamaica was one such case, with this three stamp (60, 70 and 100 dollars) souvenir sheet, issued on 01JUN2005, each stamp carrying the legend Jamaica commemorates 50 years of European Philatelic Cooperation and the CEPT logo, as well as a small 50 logo evocative of the anniversary.

The Postmark was applied at Montego Bay Post Office, on the north coast of the Island.
