Description:
Stamps listed by Michel catalog notes that they are local issues and not valid for use on international mailing. The Abkhaz World website states they are postage stamps "legally valid for international mail” but as Abkhazia is not recognized by the Universal Postal Union, their use on international mail (sent via Russia) is simply tolerated by postal administrations and do not confer international legitimacy upon Abkhazia. Please see the illegal stamp categories for stamps that have been made by criminal counterfeit producers outside of Abkhazia that are determined to be illegally produced.
Issued in sheets of 32 stamps (4x8). Stamp number in Catalog of Republic of Abkhazia: 29
The 1994 FIFA World Cup was the 15th edition of the men’s soccer World Cup, held in the United States from June 17 to July 17, 1994. It was the first World Cup hosted by the United States and was contested by 24 teams. Brazil emerged as champions, defeating Italy 3-2 on penalties in the final. The tournament was notable for several reasons, including the introduction of the "Golden Goal” rule, which awarded victory to the first team to score in extra time, and for being the highest-attended World Cup in history, with a total attendance of over 3.5 million spectators.
