Theme : Zodiac signs 19

Liechtenstein, the small nation squeezed in between Switzerland and Austria, has a rich history of high quality stamps.
Especially in Europe, lots of collectors (used to) collect Liechtenstein as an addition to their own country, as the stamps were interesting, and highly in demand.
Nowadays Liechtenstein is not that 'hot' anymore, but still worth collecting.

This post, is a joined issue of 1976, 1977 and 1978.
In each year, 4 stamps were emitted, from a set of 12 zodiac signs.
12 zodiac signs, issued in 1976-1978
Each stamp had a different face value, but some values (like 80 cents) were used twice.
The design is very colourful and artistic, and depics the western zodiac signs.
Often, Liechtenstein emits engraved stamps, unfortunately these sets were not engraved, but still they are among my favourite zodiac signs.
