Timor-Leste became independent from Indonesia on 20 May 2002 and this first day envelope with stamps commemorates this day. It is signed by José Alexandre “Xanana” Gusmão who became President of Timor-Leste.
This first day envelope was personally signed by Xanana, likely in 2002.
Some of the charities who conducted fund raising auctions wouldn’t have the time or funds to frame items they received. You can frame it yourself. A nice inexpensive gift for someone who has an interest in the history of Timor-Leste.
This item was purchased at a charity auction held in Canberra. Over the years, we supported many charities by attending fund raisers and purchasing memorabilia. Go to the About page for more information.
