Theme : Zodiac signs 24 b

The story of the Liechtenstein zodiac stamps and sheets continues in 2014 with the year of the Ram.
Here translated as the year of the 'sheep'
The sheet itself, is a larger version of the stamp. The cut out parts on the stamp, are replaced by gold foil on the sheet.

2014 Year of the Ram
The sheet has 4 identical stamps with the very fragile 'ram' design. 

2014 - Year of the Ram
In 2015, the year of the Monkey was celebrated.
A new sheet with 4 monkey stamps was emitted.
Again the sheet has the same shape as the individual stamps. The gold foil on the sheet, becomes the cut out on the individual stamps.

2015 - Year of the Monkey

Year of the Monkey stamp
The issue of 2016 went up from € 1.90 per stamp to € 2.
The same style of design continued for the Year of the Rooster.

In this issue, the design of the individual stamp is different from the image of the sheet itself.

2016 - Year of the Rooster

All stamps were only emitted in sheets, in order to obtain an idividual stamp, the sheets had to be broken.
